‘I thought Jags coach Doug Pederson out-schemed McDermott in several areas. The Jags defense had answers for almost everything Allen tried until the fourth quarter. And his offense also did a great job on third down – 10-of-17 – on the way to 29 first downs and 38 minutes, 12 seconds of possession time.’

Did the sluggish Bills botch their travel plans to London before loss to Jaguars?
‘Bills players and head coach Sean McDermott was asked if they should’ve taken their Transatlantic flight sooner, and if fatigue contributed to the stagnant start.’
Josh Allen yells ‘LeBron James’ audible and the real LeBron wants to know what it means
‘Buffalo Bills quarterback Josh Allen yelled out “LeBron James” twice during an audible in the second quarter against the Jacksonville Jaguars in London. The audible could be heard on the NFL Network live broadcast.’
Bills’ offense takes too long to arrive in London
‘Milano’s absence seemed evident as the Jaguars gashed Buffalo for 474 total yards, with Buffalo unable to stop running back Travis Etienne (136 yards) or Trevor Lawrence’s favorite receiver, Calvin Ridley (122 yards). Buffalo also lost defensive tackle Daquan Jones to a pectoral injury and cornerback Taron Johnson left but returned after a knee injury.’
Did Bills’ late arrival to London cool down their red-hot offense? Stefon Diggs weighs in

Disaster in London: Bills lose Matt Milano and DaQuan Jones in first quarter vs. Jaguars
‘Milano and defensive end Leonard Floyd collided as they converged in an attempt to make a tackle. It appeared as though Milano’s knee was compromised as Floyd went flying into his right leg. The Bills ruled him out for the game a few minutes after the injury and NFL.com’s Jamie Erdahl reported that Milano was carted off the field with a full cast on his right leg.’
Buffalo Bills’ Sean McDermott uses three words for injury outlook of defensive standouts
‘“Injury update for you,” McDermott told the media after giving credit to the Jaguars. “Matt Milano, it’s a knee, a lower leg injury. I know it’s not looking good right now, but I don’t know any details beyond that at this point. And then DaQuan Jones. It’s a pec injury and also not looking good at this point. I’ll know more in a little bit here.”’
Bloody awful: Buffalo Bills lack energy, lose star players in loss to Jaguars (Encouraged/worried)
‘Kaiir Elam finally got his opportunity to start on Sunday. Tre’Davious White was put on the injured reserve on Saturday and Christian Benford was inactive for the game. With a major opportunity handed to him, Elam squandered his chance. Elam gave up multiple receptions to Jaguars receivers to extend their drives. It was clear that Trevor Lawrence and company were targeting him and he did nothing to change that throughout the loss. Things went from bad to worse for Elam when he was benched late in the game for Ja’Marcus Ingram, a former UDFA that was elevated from the team’s practice squad for Sunday’s game.’
LeBron James has one question for Bills’ Josh Allen following audible vs. Jaguars

Former Bills RB has monster day ahead of teammate who just landed one of NFL’s biggest contracts
‘Former Buffalo Bills receiver Zay Jones had a decent showing against his previous team in London. Not only did the Jaguars win their second international game this season, but Jones had three catches for 23 yards and one touchdown. His longest reception was at the start of the second quarter. He took the pass to Jacksonville’s 27-yard line for a 10-yard gain.’
Seven Takeaways: Bills put up a dud in London, lose Milano and Jones in the process
‘In one of the sloppiest games you will ever have the displeasure of watching, the Bills lost All-Pro linebacker Matt Milano (knee/lower leg) and stalwart defensive tackle DaQuan Jones (pec) to injuries, which head coach Sean McDermott said, “do not look good” at this point.’
Jaguars wear down beleaguered Bills defense to seal win late in game
‘With all of the injuries, the Bills defense still played well for most of the game, surrendering just 11 points and forcing two turnovers going into the fourth quarter. But it was clear they were worn down by the end of the game.’
Sabato: Banged up Bills failed to adjust to Jaguars until it was too late
‘It’s hard to recall a worse five-point loss.’
