2) Tyrod Taylor

Quarterback Tyrod Taylor continues to impress through out the first month of the season. Last week against Denver’s tough defense Taylor went 20 of 26, for 213 yards, two touchdowns and a passer rating of 126. He followed up his impressive week three outing with another one in week four.

On Sunday Taylor went 12 of 20, for 182 yards and one touchdown. Taylor averaged 9.1 yards per throw and finished with a passer rating of 106. Taylor continues to receive excellent pressure from his offensive line, resulting in a calmer pocket and cleaner looks downfield.

It’s clear to see that when Taylor is in play-action or on the run that he is one of the best in doing so. That dual-threat ability to escape with his legs and throw downfield was on full display on Sunday.

Falcons linebackers were second-guessing almost every play-action snap, resulting in big completions downfield to tight end Charles Clay.

We’re through the first month of the season, and Taylor finished with 562 yards, five touchdowns, and one interception. Taylor continues just to make plays and keep things simple for the Buffalo Bills putting them in a winning position week in and week out.
