‘A Buffalo Bills team that lost its two leading receivers from last season presented an opportunity for former Michigan State wideout Keon Coleman to step into a significant role. If the team’s 2024 opener was any indication, he’s ready to do just that – and has the trust of Bills quarterback Josh Allen.’

Ability to adapt on the fly helped Bills defense spur season-opening win over Cards
‘For all the attention paid to Josh Allen’s latest leap in capping a four-touchdown outing, the quarterback wouldn’t have been in position to rally the Bills in a 34-28 win if not for Buffalo’s revamped defensive coaching staff’s ability to adapt on the fly.’

Bills stock report: New receivers, edge rusher have star-making performances in Week 1 win
‘Bernard had 11 tackles, but wasn’t great in pass coverage. Per PFF, he allowed four catches and also wasn’t great against the run. Kyler Murray ran all over the Bills’ defense, which isn’t solely on Bernard, but he certainly shoulders some blame. This isn’t a “the sky is falling” type of thing, either. He’s a terrific linebacker and a leader of this team. He’s just shouldering more of the load.’
Bills set NFL record that may never be broken with win over Cardinals
‘Buffalo reached its 42nd consecutive game without losing by more than six points. The record looked very much in doubt in the first half, but they overcame the deficit off the strength of Allen and a defense that didn’t allow a touchdown in the second half. The last time the Bills lost by more than six was November 21, 2021 when they lost to the Indianapolis Colts 41-15.’
McDermott declares Allen OK to play Thursday

‘”We want to be able to help them in that process,” said Reverand Mark Blue, Chair of the Community Benefits Oversight Committee. “A lot of the community members who are on the committee are invested, and they know maybe some of the hidden pockets that have not been addressed not only by the Bills, but organizations that may not have the opportunity, to receive some of the financing moving forward.”‘

John Murphy: Sensational Allen enough to overcome Bills’ slow start, uneven finish against Cardinals
‘The Bills made enough mistakes of their own particularly in the first half, when they gave up two 70-yard scoring drives to the Cards. They still have problems tackling in the secondary, problems that will only get worse if Taron Johnson is out for a while.’
