‘Offensive coordinator Brian Daboll applied a balanced play-calling approach, rushing the football a total of 40 times in 71 plays. The Bills’ ground dominance wore down the disheartened Texans as Zach Moss and Devin Singletary combined for 140 rushing yards, a significant step in the right direction for the Bills. The offense demonstrated in a confident and determined fashion that they can change gears when needed and physically mash the football between the tackles.’

‘He’ll be able to hold on to all that’: Bills’ surprise provides support to family
‘In the middle of the week, with Kate in Boston and Ryan at home, a box arrived. Ryan and Mason FaceTimed Colton and Kate in the hospital, unboxing it as they spoke. There was a cleat signed by quarterback Josh Allen, a mini helmet signed by wide receiver Cole Beasley. There were T-shirts, Frisbees, sunglasses, bobbleheads and more. A lot of the gear was specifically from the NFL’s Crucial Catch campaign.’

Tremaine Edmunds finally coming up big as Bills ready for showdown with Chiefs
‘“Just being able to make that play was huge for the defense as a whole,” Edmunds said. “It was a good time for it. I wouldn’t be able to make that play if the other guys weren’t doing their jobs. Everyone was executing at a high level to allow me to make that play.”’
Spencer Brown’s first career start had Bills fans talking over his play and playfulness
‘In his first start, Bills fans saw some excellent reps from Brown. One of Josh Allen’s best passes of the day saw him elude pressure from two defenders before finding Stefon Diggs down the field for a sizable gain. That play was one of Brown’s highlights on Sunday as well. The right tackle took a Texans defender so far out of the play that he essentially escorted him to the sidelines.’
Dominant Buffalo Bills find themselves at No. 1 in NFL power rankings post-Week 4
‘Tua Tagovailoa, Jacoby Brissett, Taylor Heinicke and Davis Mills are not going to be on the opposite sideline from the Bills on Sunday night. Buffalo will instead see Patrick Mahomes, Tyreek Hill, Travis Kelce and a Kansas City Chiefs team coming off of a 42-30 win over the Eagles. With a much tougher test coming for the defense, it’s up to Josh Allen and company to have success against one of the league’s worst defenses on Sunday Night Football.’
Sunday’s Bills-Chiefs game has enormous ramifications
‘This also will be a barometer game for McDermott, who will be facing his mentor, Andy Reid. The teacher has gotten the better of the student so far, with two wins in three meetings. A victory by the Bills would give them a two-game advantage over the Chiefs in the all-important race for home field advantage throughout the playoffs. In reality, with a 4-1 record to the Chiefs 2-3 record, they would enjoy a three-game advantage when you factor in the head-to-head tiebreaker. Home field would be an enormous postseason advantage for the Bills, considering they are 2-0 at home and 0-3 on the road in the playoffs under McDermott.’

They’ve outscored the Dolphins, Washington and the Texans by a combined 118-21 since their inexplicable opening loss to the Steelers, and they shut out Miami and Houston. They’re playing very well as they prepare to travel to Kansas City for this weekend’s rematch of last season’s AFC championship game won by the Chiefs.’
