‘After the Bills scored their first touchdown, Tyler Bass had his extra point blocked. It didn’t cost them, but something they’ll need to correct.’

‘It was the baseball equivalent of a perfect game. The Bills could do no wrong as they steamrolled the Jaguars defense and scored touchdowns on all five of their first half drives.’

‘”The guys do a really good job of coming into work, coming in with a certain focus and and that’s really where our focus is every week is putting in the work.” McDermott said. “Preparing the best that we can, and controlling the things that we can.”‘

‘”And again, we were just guys making plays. Our offensive line blocked their tails off, and our defense gave us some good field positions, so it was a complementary football win tonight,” Allen said following Monday night’s victory with the media.”‘

‘The Jaguars are 0-2 and need a win badly. They’ve had a tough couple of losses to start the season. The Bills can get them thinking about another one if they can jump on them early.’

‘For the Bills, outside of Bernard and Johnson, all other active players are healthy and good-to-go, as none carry an injury designation for the game. That includes defensive ends Dawuane Smoot and Javon Solomon, who’ve both missed the team’s first two contests with injuries.’

‘”They mean an immense amount to me, to our organization. Still, we wish them well, their families as well. We’re happy that they’re happy,” said Bills head coach Sean McDermott of both Davis and Morse during his weekly appearance on the “Extra Point Show on Friday. “Listen, it’s unfortunate, that’s kind of the nature of the business from time-to-time. You wish you could have everyone just stay here, such as life in a lot of ways. But at the end of the day, we’re proud of those guys, and we’re looking forward to competing on Monday night.”‘

‘McDermott did not give a timeline on either player’s return, but the team did not place Johnson on Injured Reserve last week. That may be an encouraging sign the Bills are optimistic he will miss less than the required four games for a stint on IR.’

‘The 24-year-old earns AFC Offensive Player of the Week after accounting for three touchdowns in Buffalo’s 31-10 win over the Dolphins. The first touchdown came via a pass from quarterback Josh Allen, while the other two came on the ground, including a 49-yard score to give the Bills a 24-10 lead in the second quarter.’

‘If Arizona is “back” and Buffalo took care of them and Miami, it makes everyone feel good about the Bills. They chalk up wins, that’s just what they do, no matter the schedule.’

‘”You know, you look at the stat sheet, I don’t, I don’t know what our numbers were, but I know we were really low in time with possession, and we were probably really low in total yards, but still managed to put up 31 points, and that, that means your defense is doing something, right? So they had our back tonight, and we’re going to need them going forward. And I’m just very proud of how guys stepped up into their to their roles, and they played together. You know, when you play together like that, you’re typically going to have good results.”‘

‘”These guys work hard, so good things happen when you work hard, and sometimes the ball finds you like that.” McDermott said postgame. “And again, it was a good team win. So all three phases. It’s not about one person, but again, all three phases factored in the win.”‘

‘While we don’t know the specific diagnosis or extent just yet, a pectoral injury can be serious and longer-term. DaQuan Jones missed twelve games last year with his torn pec. If the Bills lose Bernard for that length of time, along with Matt Milano already out long-term, it will be a significant blow.’

‘The Bills defense looked to make a statement against a fast and furious Miami offense. After a few good stops, the defense cam through with cornerback Christian Benford tipping a ball into Ja’Marcus Ingram’s hands where he returned it to the Miami 47-yard-line for 23 yards.’

‘They did all of that with a secondary that included two sixth round draft picks(Christian Benford and Damar Hamlin and two undrafted free agents(Cam Lewis and Ja’Marcus Ingram). The Bills find talent wherever and whenever they can and then coaches develop those players on the job. That’s how the best teams in the NFL keep winning.’
