Inside the Bills: Special teams quietly playing integral part during 3-0 start

‘“I feel like I got a good understanding of what our players do and how they excel, what they do better, what they do well,” Farwell said. “From a player’s perspective, when I could settle myself down, the game was slower and I could make more plays and I could do the right thing. I look at it the same way as a coach. When I settle down and feel comfortable in it and believe in what I’m doing, it allows me to call the game better. I try to stay even keel and make sure I’m in the moment.”’

View from Vegas: Raiders have edge against spread vs. Bills

‘According to our well-oiled machine, teams that are 3-0 are just 28-44-3 against the spread on the road in nondivision battles in Week 4 since 1980, including 10-37 straight up and 16-30-1 against the spread when not favored by four or more points. Toss in the fact that the Bills were outgained by more than 100 yards in last week’s victory against the Rams, and suddenly it appears there is a price to pay.’

‘Super smart’ Gabriel Davis enables Bills to expand dangerous passing attack

‘“He’s very intelligent, not just … you know he’s book smart, but he’s also very football savvy for a young player,” said offensive coordinator Brian Daboll. “He understands the game. He understands leverage and angles and stems. We’ve put a lot on his plate since he’s been here. He’s done a really good job.”’

Josh Allen named AFC offensive player of the month – how did this happen?

‘Yes, it was easy to see that Allen had a great chance to be the best version of himself that we’ve seen since the Bills made him the No. 7 overall pick in the 2018 draft. Easy to see that he would take the next step forward, one that anyone who is being counted on to be a franchise quarterback, must take if he hopes to reach that pedestal.’

Bills release CB Cam Lewis; Josh Norman practices for 2nd straight day

‘The expectation going into the season was that Norman would emerge out of camp as the Bills starter at cornerback opposite All Pro Tre’Davious White. When he went down during the team’s first scrimmage after an interception, the Bills turned back to Levi Wallace, who started all 16 games for the Bills last year.’

Bills alumni agree to ‘Sponsor a Cage’ for SPCA

‘While they’re giving a plug to Cure the Blue, a charity they’re big on, Edgerson said, “Our main focus is dealing with the SPCA, because we know they need help. Any time you look around, you watch TV, you see these animals are suffering and I’ve seen it all the time, and I was talking to Gary (Hoy) and I said ‘What can we do, as a group? We’ve been helping people all along, so, how can we help the animals?’”’
