Family sacrifices help Bills assistant coach Sophia Lewin make it to the NFL
‘“In a lot of ways rookie mini camp was rookie mini camp for me too because I was learning at the same time he’s learning. We’re studying together and I’m quizzing him and as I’m quizzing him I’m really quizzing myself too just to be on it. And he forced me to be on it which I love,” Lewin said.’
Buffalo taxpayers speak out about the prospect of Bills stadium in Buffalo
‘”I was elected to represent these people to have their backs and I take that pretty seriously,” Nowakowski says. “I want to express my initial frustration. I feel that my constituents have been overlooked and ignored during the coverage and following conversations of the proposal the site.”‘
Bills seek to get offense on track after historic record streaks come to an end
‘McDermott and offensive coordinator Brian Daboll both summed up the uncharacteristic performance as an amalgamation of factors. Buffalo’s three turnovers – two interceptions thrown by Josh Allen and a lost fumble by the quarterback – were its most since Week 12 of last season.’
Where do the Bills rank in 2021 NFL power rankings at the midseason point?
‘The Jaguars loss should be a wake-up call for a team that hasn’t played that well in recent weeks. They need to run the ball more. Yes, I said that.’
Plenty of blame for Bills’ defeat at Jacksonville
‘Buffalo had nine possessions during the game, three turnovers (two interceptions and a lost fumble), three punts, two field goals and a turnover on downs. In short, besides the field goals, the Bills had seven other chances in which to score and they squandered them to varying degrees.’
Upon Further Review: Production from Bills’ running backs has disappeared over last 4 games
‘In the past four games – essentially a quarter of the season – Buffalo’s two running backs have combined for 182 yards on 54 carries, an average of just 3.37 yards per rush. Devin Singletary has 96 yards on 24 carries (4.0 yards per rush), while Zack Moss has 86 yards on 30 carries (2.87 yards per rush).’
What we learned from snap counts in Bills’ Week 9 loss, game ball and more
‘Zack Moss was limited to 19 snaps. The Bills’ second-year running back suffered a concussion in the third quarter. Without him, the Bills relied heavily on Devin Singletary, who played 48 of the 67 offensive snaps (72%).’
Observations: Dawson Knox, Spencer Brown nearing returns for Bills
‘“We have some guys we hope to get back this week and we’ve got some guys that were a little banged up in the game,” McDermott said. “So we’ll just see how it goes.”‘
Analysis: A closer look at the blocking, blitzing problems for Bills offense
‘Ford gave up seven hurries, including a sack, according to Buffalo News charting. He gave up a pressure on Josh Allen’s second interception, late in the third quarter. Ford had big trouble with defensive tackle Taven Bryan, a 2018 first-round draft pick who has largely been a bust in his four seasons. He had the first two-sack game of his career. He had amassed only 3.5 total sacks in 54 previous games.’
Position grades: Josh Allen carrying heavy offensive load on his back for Bills
‘Running backs (1.0): From this perspective, more of the blame for the run struggles goes on the blocking and the scheme than the running backs. Tommy Sweeney missed a wham block early in the third quarter but Devin Singletary spun for a 4-yard gain. The Bills aren’t calling enough runs against light boxes. However, when they do call them, the production isn’t there. Examples were a 1-yard first-down run by Singletary on the second drive and a 2-yard stretch run by Zack Moss from the Jaguars’ 27 in the third quarter. Dion Dawkins didn’t get a good enough lead block on K’Lavon Chaisson on that one.’
Alan Pergament: In a weird game, CBS’ James Lofton often made perfect sense for a change
‘But Sunday he made more sense that he ever has. I agreed with Lofton’s takes more times in this game than I ever had on all the Bills games he has worked over the years.’

The Buffalo Bills just added a game to their worst losses in history: Here is the list
‘These losses weren’t necessarily the most one-sided, nor were they the saddest like the Super Bowls. Instead, these qualified because they were gut-wrenching, they were mind-blowing, and they were how-could-that-have-possibly-happened losses.’
