Unfazed by quiet season, Knox makes big play to lift Bills
‘”Frustration’s going to be natural any time you’re not directly producing like you know you can,” Knox said. “But we’re winning games, so I’m happy. If I have zero catches and we’re winning games, that just means I’m doing my job doing other things besides catching the ball. That’s just the nature of the tight end position. You’ve got to block when that’s called, sometimes you’re in pass protection, sometimes you’re getting other guys open on route concepts. If we’re winning games, I’m happy.”‘

Observations: Third downs – offensively and defensively – were big problem for Bills against Jets
‘“I think a lot of it is, one, obviously, our execution, and just making sure that we’re on top of the details of protection assignment of routes depth, route location, and decision by the quarterback and getting guys the ball,” offensive coordinator Ken Dorsey said Monday. “So, it’s overall execution, I think, first and foremost. But then what really kind of goes into that, as well, is I think we were probably a little bit higher on third-and-longer situations this week … So, we need to make sure we’re doing a good job of giving ourselves a good opportunity on first and second down to convert on third down by staying out of third-and-longer type situations.”’
Analysis: Improvement of Bills’ run defense over last year proves key development

Upon Further Review: Dropped passes becoming a big problem for Bills’ offense
‘Drops can be somewhat of a subjective stat, but The Buffalo News charted four of them in the win over the Jets. That comes after the team also had four drops against New England in Week 13. The website Pro Football Reference tracks drops as part of its advanced statistics. It has charged the Bills with 28 drops this season, which is third most in the NFL, behind only Green Bay (30) and Miami (29). The Bills do throw the ball more than most teams – their 477 targets are tied for seventh most in the NFL – so drop percentage is a better indicator of just how much of a problem area it has been for the offense. At 5.9% of targets dropped, the Bills rank seventh in the NFL, so it’s a big issue for the offense.’
