What went right, What went wrong: Bills v. Chargers
‘Jerry Hughes continues to be the most unsung stud in the NFL. I counted eight QB pressures by Hughes. There are games where the Bills as a team don’t get to eight. He was constantly in Justin Herbert’s personal space and, as usual, almost always in the right spot against the run. Whatever the next level down is from Joey Bosa, Hughes is there.’

‘That means the Buffalo Bills are heading to State Farm Stadium for their second-straight road game. Bills fans know all too well what happened the last time Buffalo played there.

‘During the 2018 pre-draft process, there was no way I thought I’d ever be listing Allen as one of the league’s best players. I thought wrong.
