Bills Offense Cruises in Low Gear to Win in Miami
‘But two games in for Buffalo (1-1), its offense — even with its five touchdowns Sunday — does not quite resemble the unit that last season passed for loads of yards and scored loads of points and, generally, rampaged up and down the field, smashing records and elevating quarterback Josh Allen into most valuable player contention.’
Epenesa, Bills knock out Dolphins in Week 2
‘Epenesa finished the game with a tackle and two quarterback hits.’
Bills Knock Out Tua, Roll Past Dolphins Yet Again, Win 35-0
‘“I saw a hunger in our football team this week,” Bills coach Sean McDermott said. “We’ve got plenty to work on, though, and that’s what we have to get back to. Try to improve every week, that’s the goal.”’
Buffalo Bills strike fast with 46-yard touchdown run by Devin Singletary against Miami
‘After an incomplete pass on first down, quarterback Josh Allen handed off to running back Devin Singletary. With the help of a big hole from the offensive line, Singletary burst up the field for a 46-yard touchdown. The run was the second-longest of his career, behind a 51-yard touchdown run against the Denver Broncos last season.’
Bills blank Dolphins 35-0
‘On the defensive side of the football, the Bills gave Dolphins quarterback Tua Tagovailoa fits early on in this affair. Miami was unable to generate any momentum on offense, and while trying to get a pass off Tagovailoa took a massive hit from Buffalo’s AJ Epenesa that forced the second-year signal-caller to be carted off the field.’
Opinion: Capaccio: Arrow Up/Arrow Down: Bills at Dolphins
‘For an overall performance, Allen does not deserve an Arrow Down. He made some dynamic plays and throws and led the offense to 35 points. It was not a bad game for him. However, he still seemed a bit off as far as accuracy and timing with some of his receivers which resulted in him completing only 17 of 33 passes for a completion percentage of a too low 51.5%.’
Buffalo Bills get first win of the season, shutting out Dolphins 35-0
‘On the Bills first drive the offensive picks things back up with Josh Allen throwing an eight-yard touchdown pass to tight end Dawson Knox to extend Buffalo’s lead to 21-0.’
Bills RB Zack Moss overcomes adversity on & off the field
‘“I thought it was important that he was able to reset and be mentally tough and come back and he made some really tough runs,” head coach Sean McDermott said after the game.’
Rookie DE Greg Rousseau notches first sack in familiar territory
‘”It was a lot of fun out there,” Rousseau said. “I had a lot of great memories here, [and] had my whole family here. So it was just a blessing to be able to come back and play in my hometown, and have a solid game.”‘
Bills destroy Dolphins 35-0
‘The Bills defense was staunch in the shutout, giving up only 216 yards and coming away with six sacks on Miami’s quarterbacks (two coming on Dolphins starter Tua Tagovailoa, who left the game with a rib injury after the first Miami drive).’
Bills defense dominates Dolphins with first shutout win since 2016
‘“This team has been together long enough where we’ve dealt with wins, we’ve dealt with losses, we’ve learned how to do both. Coming out today just shows what this team is about,” Bills safety Jordan Poyer said after the game.’
Bills RB Zack Moss returns active roster in a big way vs. Dolphins
‘“I just wanted to come out here and just play the game, had a rough start to it but just being able to go back out there and finish the right way, you know coaches allowing me to go out and do that is big,” Moss said after the game on Sunday.’
4 Observations: Bills shutout Dolphins 35-0
‘Josh Allen has owned the Dolphins during his career but that wasn’t the case on Sunday. Allen looked better than he did during the Steelers loss but wasn’t the MVP candidate we watched in 2020.’
Fans turn out to cheer on the Bills at Chippewa Street block party
‘“It’s an extra rush I think, because like touchdowns — Everybodys screaming high fiving like you almost in the stadium when in fact you’re not,” another fan chimed in.’
