Two Bills Drive

‘Buffalo’s deep threat, Shavers, who caught one pass for 24 yards last week in Miami, saw his number called often against the Buccaneers, hauling in four of his five targets on the day.’

‘Allen threw only six interceptions on his way to his first MVP award in 2024, but he has already exceeded that mark in 2025 after a pair of first-half picks against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers on Sunday.’

‘Those three rushing touchdowns give Allen 75 for his career, which ties Cam Newton for the most rushing scores for a quarterback in NFL history. Considering that the previous record holder was Steve Young at 43 before Newton shattered it. Now, Allen is one score away from being the lone holder of the record, and legitimately could finish his career with 100 rushing touchdowns.’

‘The Bills announced during the fourth quarter that Hardman was out for the rest of the game with a calf injury.’

‘He had one of his wild, run-around-the-backfield-for-a-while-before-finding-a-receiver-open, insane touchdown passes to Tyrell Shavers in the back left corner of the end zone. He had a perfect recognition of a mismatch when he found James Cook matched up with a defensive end on a pass route and dropped a dime to his RB for a touchdown.’

‘He was in danger of being brought down for a safety. Instead of just cutting his losses, Allen did something ridiculous.’

‘And considering Davis was called up from the practice squad and Hardman was signed this past week, Joe Brady has options at receiver now, and you could make the case that unless something drastically changes this week, Buffalo could roll out the same receiver group in Week 12.’

‘“I’ve already spoke to him,” Dawkins said. “I said, “Bro, look, don’t even worry about it. Everybody goes through a different journey, right? Let’s just say that this is the last time. Let’s just move forward.” And he said, “I’m with you.” That’s all we need, right? Nobody’s perfect, but in this league, we need guys to come on.’
