‘NBC’s Phil Simms, who may be Allen’s biggest fan in the media, said Sunday night on the Football Night in America pregame show, “So far, two weeks into the (season), he’s been the best player in the NFL.

‘Ice water in his veins’: Josh Allen erupts for 417 yards and 4 TDs as Bills beat Dolphins
‘That, ladies and gentlemen, boys and girls, is what a franchise quarterback looks like.’
Bills report card: Josh Allen had the game of his life, Buffalo offense is putting on a show
‘To say it was a stunning performance by Allen would probably be better suited for his first two years in the NFL because the game he played Sunday would not have been possible then. This year, after how he opened the season against the Jets, it’s far easier to envision this becoming more the norm.’
Bills-Dolphins game delayed in third quarter due to lightning near Hard Rock Stadium
‘The power is back at Hard Rock Stadium. But now there is electricity in the sky.’
Some of Josh Allen’s best games in his young career have come against the Dolphins

Early season injury woes as Bills will face Dolphins without Milano, Edmunds

Bills get another crack at the bearded one as Ryan Fitzpatrick leads Dolphins

All that speculation about Trent Murphy’s demise clearly overblown
‘“I saw those talks and it’s asinine,” Hughes said. “He’s been huge since he got here Day 1, always putting pressure on the quarterback, making plays, so for people to write that in the offseason just goes to show how bored they were this offseason, just looking to find a story instead of finding out ways to build our team up.”’
Who’s at linebacker? Bills down four as practice begins for Dolphins game

Sean McDermott provides little news on status of Matt Milano, Tremaine Edmunds
‘Defensive coordinator Leslie Frazier provided a crumb of information when he said, “It sounds like they’re both going to be back, hopefully for this ballgame, but if we don’t get both, hopefully we’ll get one back because they are vitally important to the success of our defense.”’

‘Stefon Diggs didn’t hit a home run, but the Jets wouldn’t allow it, so he hurt them underneath with eight catches for a team-high 86 yards. And John Brown had a solid day with six for 70.’
