Mark Gaughan: Josh Allen knows it’s time to start playing with ruthless efficiency
‘“Internally, just understanding the game, understanding situations and making that a point of emphasis on game day,” Allen said. “I let it get away from me this last game and again, I’m not going to let it affect me going forward. As a quarterback in this league, the best ones are able to kind of put this behind them, but take away lessons from it and not let it affect how they play the next game in a negative way. So, again, try to use it to my advantage and learn from it. It’s not the first time I’ve thrown three. And, you know, barring how long I play in this league, hopefully it’s a long time, it might not be the last I ever throw three.”’

Bills cornerback makes plays ‘that should be shown on SportsCenter,’ impresses teammates
‘Benford’s all-out hustle saved the Bills four points because the defense stiffened and forced a field goal which tied the game at 3-3. It didn’t end up mattering in the final result, a 22-16 overtime loss, but plays like that can often determine the outcome of games.’
Bills need players other than Stefon Diggs to step to be successful on offense
‘Gabe Davis played 94% of the snaps and was targeted just four times, catching two for 32 yards. This was not the start Davis was looking for as he begins the final season of his rookie contract looking to either earn a possible contract extension with the Bills, or get paid as a free agent in the offseason.’
Bills’ Stefon Diggs responds to Michael Irvin’s criticism of his exchange with Josh Allen
‘“I’m like, what are you talking about? People garnish things from a game and have their own opinon about x, y, z. Like, what are you talking about?” Diggs said.’
Allen reflects on four turnovers during substandard effort vs. Jets
‘“The grand scheme of things, it’s one game, and we’re not going to let it turn into two,” said Buffalo’s franchise QB. “As a quarterback in this league, the best ones are able to kind of put this behind them but take away lessons from it and not let it affect how they play the next game in a negative way. So, again, try to use it to my advantage and learn from it.”‘
Josh Allen aiming to prove he can overcome interception woes as Bills look toward Raiders in Week 2
‘“It’s a double-edged sword,” Allen said. “Sometimes we get away with it and sometimes it’s the greatest play ever, sometimes it happens the other way like it did Monday night. I understand, I want to be smarter, I want to help this team win football games. I don’t want to put the ball in harm’s way or in jeopardy, and just trying to, again, trust that and trust the guys on the field with me and play selfless ball.”’
