‘One game won’t totally change the trajectory of Edmunds’ season, but Sunday’s effort was a step in the right direction. Simply put, the Bills need Edmunds to be more than just a part of their defense. For as much as coach Sean McDermott preaches about every player doing their 1/11th, as the middle linebacker — and a former first-round draft pick — Edmunds needs to be a playmaker. While he came into the game against the Seahawks second on the team with 52 tackles, not enough of them could be described as impactful. That’s why it was so promising to see him making plays behind the line of scrimmage against Seattle.’

What we learned from snap counts in Bills’ Week 9 win, game ball and more
‘Zack Moss again outsnapped Devin Singletary. For the second consecutive game, the rookie running back received slightly more playing time than his second-year counterpart. Moss played 38 offensive snaps (56%), while Singletary played 31 (46%) on a day that the rushing attack took a clear back seat to the passing offense.’
Five takeaways from Monday’s Bills press conferences
‘“They have formed this kind of pack mentality there while competing with one another,” added McDermott. “They’re a nice bond of brothers, if you will, and so that’s fun to watch. It’s good to have. I just love yesterday when some of those guys unfortunately did go down, their replacement who was jogging on the field was coming to check on them first as opposed to just being a competitor. You go out there, you’re bucklin’ up, ‘Hey it’s my chance, I’m gonna get in that huddle,’ but they had the wherewithal to go over and love for their teammates and check on their teammate first that was hurt. I think that says a lot about the guys.”‘

Position grades: Bills pass rush back on track after taking down Russell Wilson
‘Quarterback (5.0): Allen made it look easy against a struggling defense. He continues to impress with his poise in tightening pockets. His throws on the move were good again, including a 12-yarder to Gabriel Davis, and a 23-yarder to Cole Beasley. He had nice anticipation on the 39-yarder to Davis. His 81.6% completion rate was sixth highest by a Bills QB in a game and best in 12 years.’

A.J. Klein quieted his critics with a breakout performance against the Seahawks
‘“I don’t pay attention to any of that stuff,” Klein said, though that’s highly unlikely because all of these players are on social media. “I go out and do what I need to do and try to perform to the best of my ability. It’s a good feeling when you go out and perform like this.”’

Bills’ Brian Daboll details grief-filled game Josh Allen played vs. Seahawks
‘“When he came in off the field in the locker room, he just kind of fell into my arms a little bit. A lot of emotion there,” Daboll said on Monday “I’d say particularly for him, but for me also. When you love somebody and something happens like that, it’s tough. Then to see it happen to someone that you really care about as a player, that’s tough.”’

I’m glad that those sacks and those plays came up because, obviously, anytime you have big plays like that it covers up a lot of possibly negative plays or negative things that might have happened throughout the game.”’
Perhaps, It’s Time To Start Taking The 7-2 Bills Seriously
‘In becoming just the eighth team to beat Seattle by 10 or more points in nine years, the AFC East-leading Bills (7-2) gained a semblance of legitimacy in a season in which two of their victories came against the winless Jets, with the two losses coming in consecutive weeks to Tennessee and Kansas City.’
