Buffalo Bills: Top PFF grades from MIA @ BUF
By Connor Price
Pro Football Focus has released their player grades and game analysis after the Buffalo Bills edged out the Miami Dolphins 24-16.
It is a tough job deciphering which Buffalo Bills’ players played well in their game against the Miami Dolphins. Pro Football Focus does a good job of figuring that out with their individual player grades for every game.
The top grade Buffalo Bills player? Cornerback, Tre’Davious White. The defensive play-maker received an 83.2 game grade for his play Sunday against the Miami Dolphins.
Here is Pro Football Focus‘ write-up for Tre’Davious White
"“Continuing an impressive rookie season, the Bills first-round draft pick allowed just three receptions for 58 yards from eight passes thrown into his coverage.One of those was a long shot down the right sidline to DeVante Parker, but White also had a pass breakup and an interception, finishing the game having allowed an NFL passer rating of just 24.0.”"
One week removed from a game which had some of the craziest weather in recent years; the Buffalo Bills welcomed the Miami Dolphins to town. Buffalo’s defense was on top of their game, intercepting Jay Cutler three times when the game was close. Bills’ rookie, Tre’Davious White continued to impress and show the league why he deserves Rookie of the Year.
Here are the top five Buffalo Bills’ game grades:
CB Tre’Davious White, 83.2 overall grade
C Eric Wood, 81.9 overall grade
CB Shareece Wright, 81.8 overall grade
OG Vladimir Ducasse, 81.7 overall grade
S Micah Hyde, 81.0 overall grade
It is obvious that the secondary did its’ damage on Sunday. Three of the Buffalo Bills’ top five grades come from the defensive side of the football. No one dazzled us with their play or earned a 90.0+ grade, but the team fought their way to a win, and that is what these late-season divisional games are all about.
Here is Pro Football Focus‘ write-up for Tyrod Taylor and his 77.2 game grade:
"“Although Taylor slightly struggled on deep passes and completed just one of his six pass attempts that traveled at least 20 yards from the line of scrimmage, he was a big reason behind Buffalo’s win on Sunday afternoon.Buffalo’s signal-caller did well to extend plays and averaged 8.5 yards per quarterback scrambles; however, his touchdown run came on his only designed run, a quarterback draw.”"
