‘A lot of things went badly for the Bills on Sunday night, but the good news is it only counts as one loss, and the Buffalo defense won’t be facing one of the top quarterbacks and best rushing offenses in the league every week.’

‘Henry continued to be a force against the Bills defense as the Ravens marched down the field. After getting within the five yard line, Lamar Jackson threw a quick pass to the right to Henry for a five yard touchdown.’

‘”In some of the fringe areas, they were either pressuring or getting pressure with their [front-]four, and some of the drives that we did have were stalling out there,” said Bills head coach Sean McDermott following Sunday’s loss during his postgame press conference.’

‘”They had a good game. Those guys get on the other side, they get paid too,” said Allen on Sunday during his postgame press conference with the media. “They made more plays than us, and we’ll learn from it. We’ll be better from this one.”‘

‘Not much went right for Buffalo. In fact, a lot went wrong for the Bills in the loss.’

‘Getting Henry to go lateral will be a key to stopping him. But when he does run straight ahead, players have to be willing and ready to take him on and be physical.’

‘Within their “everybody eats”, no matter how much is just PR fluff, Shakir, undoubtedly, looks like their top wideout. In fact, Shakir is playing like one of the top wideouts in the NFL.’

‘”They bring a unique challenge, previous to Derrick Henry even arriving, and now, thought they made a heck of a strategic move of going to get Derrick Henry,” said Bills head coach Sean McDermott during his weekly appearance on the “Extra Point Show” on WGR. “That combination, along with what they already had, [Mark] Andrews and the tight end [Isaiah] Likely, and now with their wide receivers as well, [Zay] Flowers in particular, I think they’re the No. 1 ranked offense in the NFL, yards-wise. They’re really good, and we’ll have a challenge in front of us on Sunday night.”‘

‘Bernard wore a red non-contact jersey as the team practiced just outside the fieldhouse.’

‘For the Bills, cornerback Taron Johnson and linebacker Terrel Bernard have already been ruled out of the Sunday Night Football contest and did not practice on Wednesday as the team held a walk-through practice.’

‘Allen became the first NFL player with 200 plus passing yards and four plus passing touchdowns in a first half since when he did it himself against Pittsburgh in 2022. Allen also became the first quarterback in NFL history to complete 75 percent of his passes throw for four plus touchdowns without taking a sack, and leading his team in rushing yards.’

‘It is not that the Bills have won these first three games that is impressive, it is how. First, they had to wake up from a slow start with a mix of pass and run attacks to come back and claim victory against Arizona. Four days later, they smother the Dolphins on a short week and Josh Allen doesn’t even need to lift a finger, as the defense and the run game did nearly all the work. Finally, after ten days off, Allen wanted in on the dominance. Allen and the air attack could do no wrong, as they put a hapless Jaguars team into the dirt.’

‘McDermott, speaking to reporters via Zoom a day after his team’s 47-10 win over the Jacksonville Jaguars, said that both players are improving and will do a little more this week, but still won’t be ready to take the field for the game.’

‘The lone blemish of the half was a blocked point after attempt after the Bills’ first touchdown. That hat was merely an afterthought by the time fans wandered out to the concourse at halftime, enjoying orange slices and a 34-3 lead.’

‘The Bills took the field to start the game and worked their way down the field. There were some snags that led to a third down stop by the Jacksonville defense. Josh Allen and the Bills stayed on the field for a fourth down attempt to establish some dominance and successfully did so after Khalil Shakir got the first down and more.’
