‘I’ll start with this: Brian Daboll is criminally underrated. When the Bills were rolling up four consecutive touchdown drives, Daboll had the Rams defense inside out. Receivers were running nearly as free as they do in drills against air in practice. Gabriel Davis is five yards open for a 40 yard catch. Tyler Kroft’s first TD didn’t have a blue jersey within 30 yards. Daboll even schemed Lee Bleeping Smith wide open on a fourth and goal play.’

Josh Allen MVP Candidate?
‘Allen has been spectacular, carrying the Bills to a 3-0 start. But as good as he is been, I don’t think I have seen a quarterback more in control of a game than Russell Wilsopn at the moment. He is the best QB in the league right now (yes I know about Mahomes and Lamar) and he looks to be the type of player that is going to put up video game numbers each week. So for the Bills QB to be in this conversation, early or not, is a great thing for the franchise.’

Eric Wood | 10 opinions on Buffalo’s third win of the 2020 season
‘I played for the Rams offensive line coach Aaron Kromer when he was with the Bills. He’s had a big influence on the run game for Sean McVay. What they were able to script up with the number of motions they ran – they ran jet sweeps, reverse fakes, and they were constantly giving the Bills window dressing. This is the stuff that messes with the defender’s vision and Downhill runs from Darrell Henderson gave Buffalo trouble. They were gashing the Bills, and I give credit the Rams offensive line, they did a good job staying with their blocks. While it’s a great scheme, if anyone just flat out beats the linemen, the defenders make those plays. The Rams had the highest percentage of play-action in the NFL last week. And so, the safeties were staying high at times to try to avoid the big plays over the top.’
BIlls Today | NFL analyst says the Bills don’t win Sunday’s game without this player
‘Diggs’ four catches for 49 yards and a score against the Rams don’t leap off the box score — three Bills had more receiving yards — but Buffalo would not have defeated Los Angeles without him. Sometimes, it’s not about the quantity of plays, just the quality.’
Analysis: Josh Allen’s elite arm, Cole Beasley’s savvy keyed winning drive
‘“Honestly, it just kind of turned into some backyard ball,” Allen said. “I just tried to find some time to throw. Me and Cole talked about this route many a time, and they just kind of went outside. Cole found a spot in the middle, made a good catch and took it upfield for a first down.”’
Column: Josh Allen comes of age in Bills’ legitimizing victory

He also became the first in league history with at least 10 passing touchdowns and two rushing touchdowns in the first three games.’
‘He’s the best dude’: Tyler Kroft’s unique day inspires teammates
‘“For a guy like Tyler, who hasn’t played a whole lot,” quarterback Josh Allen said, “we haven’t asked a bunch of our tight ends, to kind of step in and catch two touchdown catches for us … this team is just made up of selfless guys that are just trying to do their job when their number’s called. And that’s why we love being a part of it and that’s why this team loves each other.”’
Bills welcome back Edmunds, Milano to a defense still finding its way
