‘Buffalo’s defense has been outstanding this season, but the unit will have their struggles in their AFC Championship Game rematch if Milano cannot go next week against the Chiefs.’

Dawson Knox scores two TDs in win, gets trolled by Bills social media team
‘In addition to starring on the field, Knox put together a star-worthy performance after an incomplete pass to Stefon Diggs that saw him flop after getting pushed by Texans safety Lonnie Johnson. Knox’s dramatic fall, which you can see below, drew a 15-yard penalty on the Texans. It also drew the attention of the Bills’ social media team who called him out for his socceresque flop.’
Buffalo Bills defense reminds Emmanuel Sanders of his past Super Bowl teams
‘“I’m so impressed by the defense,” Sander said. “I’ve been on three Super Bowl teams, and every team that I’ve played on, defense was the ultimate factor. Defense wins championships, we all understand that.”’
Bills stifles Texans in rout; defense earns A+ (Week 4 report card)
‘A rotation at running back did not sound ideal, but give the Bills credit. It’s working through four weeks. Against the Texans, Devin Singletary led the Bills in rushing yards (79) on 14 carries. His 5.6 yard per carry average would have been even better had a 40-plus yard run not been called back on a holding penalty.’
LeBron James says Bills’ Josh Allen a beast
‘Consider it greatness recognizing greatness.’
Five takeaways: Bills pitch second shutout in first four games as they stifle Texans en route to third straight win
‘Offensively, Buffalo was not at the top of its game early on, settling for three first-half field goals from kicker Tyler Bass (33, 26, 21) and another to begin the third quarter (28). But quarterback Josh Allen and company found their groove as the game progressed, and Allen wound up finishing the win with a reasonable 248 passing yards to go with a couple of touchdowns against one interception. The Buffalo running game was impressive, totaling 199 rushing yards on 38 total carries led by 14 totes apiece from running backs Zack Moss and Devin Singletary. Moss finished with 61 yards and a touchdown while Singletary recorded a team-high 79 rushing yards in the win. Allen added six carries for 41 yards.’
Sullivan: Bills’ D dominant again ahead of prime time rematch with Chiefs
‘Protect their reputation? The defensive players acted as if they protecting the national nuclear codes. You’d have thought the Texans were threatening to march into their homes, kidnap the women and children and make off with the family jewels.’
Buffalo Bills Week 4 Report Card: Josh Allen, Bills wallop Texans 40-0
‘Offense: Dawson Knox. It’s easy to forget the offseason when there was chatter the Bills would either draft a tight end or trade for one (Zach Ertz, anyone?). Knox has been a great story. With a great receiving corps, it gives Knox opportunities to expose weaknesses in opposing defenses. He had five catches for 37 yards and two touchdowns on Sunday. He doesn’t need to put up huge numbers. As long as he makes plays when called upon, it gives the Bills’ offense another weapon.’

Bills Dominate Texans To Go 3-1
‘Buffalo cruised to a win over the hapless Houston Texans on a rainy Sunday at Highmark Stadium. The weather was a factor, with both teams losing possession of the ball due to the wet conditions. It was the Bills who could capitalize on their opportunities.’
Opinion: Quarter One Reports Are In
‘Remember the Zach Ertz trade that never ended up happening? Well, thank god, huh? Knox has looked like the type of player Bills fans hoped they were getting out of college. Most inside the organization had preached patience and for good reason. He was a walk-on quarterback at Ole Miss and had a dramatically raw skillset, so patience was going to be key to his development.’
