‘In the seventh game of his young NFL career, Coleman caught four passes for 125 yards, averaging a whopping 31.3 yards per-reception to help the Bills earn a 34-10 win at Highmark Stadium in Orchard Park.’

‘Bernard did not practice on Wednesday, but head coach McDermott noted that was due to an excused absence for personal reasons, which was also reflected on the team’s official injury report for the day.’

‘Both linebacker Terrel Bernard and wide receiver Curtis Samuel were declared out during the game due to injuries, while linebacker Dorian Williams left the game, was probable to return, but did not. Bernard left in the fourth quarter with an ankle injury, while Samuel injured his shoulder on the second series of the game, and Williams suffered a knee injury.’

‘The Buffalo defense had no answer to stop the Tennessee offense, as they were able to get within the Bills’ 10-yard line. The Bills were able to make a stop, and force a 25-yard field goal from kicker Nick Folk to claim a 3-0 lead.’

‘Just five days after being acquired from the Cleveland Browns, Cooper was able to make an impact in the Bills offense, reeling in four passes from quarterback Josh Allen for 66 yards and a third quarter touchdown to give Buffalo a lead with would not be relinquished.’

‘The Bills struggled mightily in the first half, especially on the offensive side of the football. Through the first 30 minutes of action, Bills quarterback Josh Allen only completed 4-of-11 pass attempts for 65 yards, as Buffalo trailed 10-7 at the half.’

‘After failing to have an answer in the early goings against the Titans offense, led by quarterback Mason Rudolph, the Bills defense stood strong and shut down Tennessee for the rest of the game. Buffalo’s defensive effort was capped off with an interception by safety Damar Hamlin late in the fourth quarter to squash any last hopes the Titans had.’

‘The offensive game plan Joe Brady put together just didn’t make sense. Too many run plays out of shotgun that took too long to develop. Too many down-the-field passing routes that also took too long. Simpler, short passes along with a physical, downhill running game could have really helped move the sticks early-on.’

‘Then the home team came out and laid an egg in the first half.’

‘They’ll have to prove they can beat the other three and that might seem tough right now. They’ve already lost to Houston and Baltimore, and Kansas City is… well… Kansas City.’

‘With Rudolph starting, the Titans will most likely want to play a conservative game on offense and not give the Bills the extra chances Levis would bring. The Bills defense needs to stay patient and take any of those when given.’

‘”It is a physical game, and you need to be a physical team, an aggressive football team. The way we position it is, hey, the ones that are pre snap, those are discipline, those are focus penalties. The ones that are post whistle, same as and those are the ones that we declare as non negotiable, absolutely non negotiable. You’re going to get an aggressive penalty via a hold once in a while, don’t love them, but we preach technique all the time. The ones that happen after the ball snapped and before the whistle, if those are aggressive penalties, those are going to happen from time to time, but those other ones that I already outlined, those are, those are non negotiable.”‘

‘The Bills might have a big day from the left side of their pass rush come Sunday. The Titans benched starting right tackle Nicholas Petit-Frere after the fourth game. Leroy Watson IV was a little better last Sunday against the Colts, but if/when Greg Rousseau is on the left side, it could lead to multiple sacks.’

‘While Thursday’s injury report listed a whopping 16 players, just one player was listed as “did not practice”.’

‘Havrisik played nine games with the Los Angeles Rams just this past season after being singed off the Cleveland Browns’ practice squad. In those nine contests, Havrisik converted 15-of-20 field goal attempts, with his longest kick coming from 52 yards out.’
