‘Still, for the Colts’ offense to hum, it needs to be effective on the ground. That was certainly the case when Richardson was playing, and it remains so with Flacco under center. The Colts were not able to get Jonathan Taylor rolling against the Vikings (13 carries, 48 yards) and he’ll need to be much better against a Bills defense that plays the pass well, but is not at all strong against the run. The Bills allow the seventh-worst yards per run average (4.8) and have given up 35 runs of at least 10 yards, fifth-most in the NFL. Offensive balance will be imperative for the Colts, and Taylor is the key to that.’

Bills PFF Week 9 grades: Buffalo posts elite pass blocking grade in win over Dolphins
‘Buffalo’s offensive line did a great job of keeping Josh Allen upright on Sunday. Allen was hit three times in the win and sacked just once on his 39 pass attempts. In the past, Allen has evaded much contact using his athleticism. This season, however, the offensive line has done a fantastic job of blocking and PFF recognized the unit for their play on Sunday. Buffalo’s pass blocking received a grade of 91.8 in their overall grades for the week.’

Upon Further Review: Normally impatient Dolphins nearly piece together Bills puzzle
‘Miami’s 149 yards rushing marked the fifth consecutive time it has surpassed 100 yards against the Bills and the Dolphins have lost all those games. In fact, the one time Mike McDaniel’s Dolphins have defeated the Bills since he became head coach was when they ran for 41 yards in 2022. That’s because, despite averaging 5.6 yards per carry in those losses, there has always been a moment when McDaniel gets skittish, feels the pressure and gets away from the run. Though quarterback Tua Tagovailoa has hit 250 yards passing and threw six interceptions once in those games.’

Bills’ Bond On and Off the Field Paying Dividends
‘“I understand why you’re asking it,” McDermott says. “Through the natural flow of business in the NFL, guys come and go. To me, big picture here, it’s really about more than football, with the relationships you’re able to build through football. This business is tough. It’s transactional at some points. We try our best to make it more transformational here to the best of our abilities. But that transactional piece is undefeated.’

Observations: Tyler Bass plays the role of hero as Bills come back to beat Dolphins
‘Given the circumstances, Bass’ kick Sunday was the unlikeliest in team history. That’s because of the struggles he’d had leading up to it – including a missed extra-point attempt earlier in the day, as well as a bank-shot PAT that went through after it ricocheted off the left upright.’
