‘Playing without Jordan Poyer and Matt Milano, Buffalo’s defense was unable to stop the Jets running game late in the game. Conversely, the Bills offense struggled to run the ball. Take away Allen’s 86 yards on nine carries, Buffalo picked up just 48 yards on 13 carries. Newly acquired running back Nyheim Hines, who was used on special teams and in the passing game, did not receive a carry.’

‘As the Bills were trying to stage a last-minute comeback toward the end of the game, Allen dropped back to pass and came under pressure by Jets edge rusher Bryce Huff. As he unloaded to throw the ball, Huff brought his arms down hard on the ball and knocked it free. Allen could then be seen shaking his arm and flexing his hand following the play, which resulted in a strip-sack.’

‘With just under nine minutes left to play in the third quarter of Bills-Jets, the game was stopped for roughly 12 minutes after there was a SkyCam malfunction at MetLife Stadium. According to the CBS broadcast crew, one of the cables that was holding up the camera snapped, which left the SkyCam floating too closely to the field.’

‘”I think it’s a guy trying to make a play, and I was at that same position,” Allen said on “Kyle Brandt’s Basement” podcast. “I threw three picks against the Patriots my second year, and that’s kind of the game where it all clicked for me, after that game. So you can take that for what it is.”‘

‘”One play, me and (Stefon Diggs) looked at each other like, ‘Holy crap, this guy is fast,'” Allen said of Hines on Wednesday, via Pro Football Talk. “He’s smart, he’s already learning some of the plays, and our system is not easy to learn. There’s still a lot of work there, but as far as what he can give this offense, it’s fun to have a piece like that.”‘

‘Beane is clearly not crazy and we know that, because he’s already started the process of looking into it. The general manager revealed on Thursday that he’s actually had preliminary conversations with Beckham’s camp.’

‘Hines is a solid addition, but the Bills were unable to get either Christian McCaffrey or Kareem Hunt (or remained in Cleveland) at the deadline. Buffalo instead settled on a complementary piece that should help their offense without totally changing it. The only curious part of this deal was how Buffalo already invested a second-round pick in James Cook, who was drafted to fill a role similar to Hines’.’

‘Green Bay was able to run the ball effectively, but the passing game still proved to be a work in progress. Because their best chance of moving the football came on the ground, it was simply too difficult to keep pace with Buffalo’s high-flying offense and chewed plenty of valuable time off the clock. ‘

‘The five-time Pro Bowler joining an offense like Buffalo’s would certainly frighten the entire league. Kamara is one of the best dual-threat backs in the game, as he’s racked up at least 1,300 yards from scrimmage in each of his five NFL seasons. This year, he’s averaging a career-high 70.2 rushing yards per game. It’s no surprise the Saints had zero interest in parting ways with him.’

‘Buffalo’s victory brought them up to 5-1 while the Packers’ loss pulled them down to 3-4. A pair of defensive stats to keep in the back of your head while watching: Buffalo enters the matchup with only 281.5 yards allowed per game on average, which is the best in the NFL. As for Green Bay, they come into the contest boasting the fewest passing yards allowed per game in the league at 183.1.’

‘The major difference in Allen’s play this year is how aggressively he is taking what defenses are giving him early in the play. Allen’s time-to-throw average is down significantly from the past two seasons, according to TruMedia, while the share of his passes that have been released within 2.5 seconds of the snap has skyrocketed and is now nearly equal to the share of throws that are released in 2.6 seconds or more.’

‘The renderings were completed by Legends and stadium architectural firm Populous. One image shows what the exterior of the stadium may look like, and the land that surrounds it. Another image shows the interior, and what the gameday atmosphere could look like.’

‘He leads the NFL in passing TDs (5) and passer rating (117.9) in the two-minute drill (final two minutes of each half). With numbers like that, Allen will keep the momentum going with another statement win on Sunday.’

‘Hertel Avenue has since been co-opted as a homage to Allen, with Rory Allen of ZoomBuffalo.com masterminding Hurdle Avenue’s creation. Allen explained that the Bills-related stunts he has pulled — he also created a cardboard cutout of Allen to put over the Allentown welcome sign — are not a means of promoting his business, but instead of celebrating Allen and the Bills’ success.’

‘Poyer is reportedly expected to be cleared to fly soon, so this may have been the only trip he’ll have to jump in a van instead of a plane this season. It also helps that Buffalo is now on the bye Week 7, which gives Poyer even more time to recuperate. Buffalo’s next road game isn’t until Week 9 when they travel to MetLife Stadium to face the Jets on Nov. 6.’
