Reflections on Bills’ win over Miami

‘What’s certain is that Miami wasn’t bothered by the conditions. The Dolphins scored 29 points, amassed 405 offensive yards and were leading 29-21 with just over nine minutes to play.’

Upon Further Review: Mitch Morse’s sixth documented concussion is a major cause for concern

‘“We want Mitch to be healthy,” offensive lineman David Quessenberry said after Saturday’s game, a sentiment shared by all of those within the Bills’ organization. As McDermott alluded to, Morse is a team captain and one of the most respected voices in the locker room. While his health is priority No. 1, the Bills do have to plan if Morse misses time. Against the Dolphins, the Bills moved guard Greg Van Roten over to center after Morse was hurt and brought Quessenberry in off the bench. Quessenberry is the Bills’ third tackle and has not played guard at all this season.’

Analysis: Strong finish rescues rough run-stopping night for Bills’ defense

‘What went wrong for the Bills’ front? There were a handful of missed tackles. The defensive ends could have set the edge better a few times. The defensive tackles weren’t as disruptive in the middle as usual. But the biggest problem was that stopping the run was a secondary priority to trying not to get killed by deep passes to Tyreek Hill and Jaylen Waddle.’

Observations: Offense showed impressive balance in Bills’ game-winning drive

‘“When you’re at this part in the year, at this point in the year, much like a rookie player, you’re no longer a rookie,” McDermott said of Dorsey, who is in his first year of calling plays. “You’ve been through some of the things that you have to go through. And you have a good feel, at this point, for who your players are, and the weapons you have and the tools you have and the resources you have at your disposal. So, you know, those conversations take place less and less this time of year, but we do have conversations nonetheless.’

Opinion: Josh Allen for Most Valuable Player

‘Allen put the Bills in front in the first half, and later rallied them from behind in the decisive fourth quarter. It was vintage Allen, as he used his arm and legs to make a series of clutch plays.’

‘”It’s either a really good play or a really stupid play,” Allen said. “I’m just thankful he (Cook) came back to the ball and made a play on it. I threw it and in my head, I’m like I know I wasted too much time. I know zero seconds on the clock and I just kind of slid on the ground and I just laid there and waited for cheers. Thank God cheers came because you’ve got to have points before the half.”‘

Observations: Josh Allen does his best Superman impression in leading Bills over Dolphins

‘”I thought (offensive coordinator Ken) Dorsey did a really good job of throwing some runs in there,” head coach Sean McDermott said. “Devin Singletary, the offensive line … it was good to watch those guys kind of get into a good rhythm with some throws, with some passes. Different types of passes, different types of runs. Good communication with the coaches on the headset during that drive in particular with coach (Aaron) Kromer and Ken and Josh, just coming over to the sideline and making sure we were in full control of the situation.”‘

Tight end Dawson Knox ‘stepped up when (Bills) needed him most’

‘“Anytime I can be directly involved in the offense like this, it’s very exciting. It’s very fun,” Knox said. “I’ve always had the mindset that the best tight ends in the league are to be happy blocking and happy catching. So, whether it’s blocking a hundred plays out there to get the team to win or catching 10 balls going for 100 yards with touchdowns – just comes down to doing whatever is necessary to win.”’
