Quarterback
This was Josh Allen’s best game of the season and arguably one of the best of his career. He finished the game with 358 passing yards, four passing touchdowns while completing nearly 75% of his passes. This was a week where he didn’t necessarily need his legs with only nine rushing yards but did have one rushing touchdown.
This was a nearly perfect performance and a great reminder why the Bills quarterback was considered one of the favorites to win the MVP award this year.
Final Grade: A+
Running Back
This week it was Zack Moss who did most of the work for the Buffalo Bills running back and he played well with 16 touches, 91 yards from scrimmage and one receiving touchdown. Meanwhile, Devin Singletary had a quiet week with only 26 yards from scrimmage.
Entering the season, this is what many envisioned would be a typical game for the run game. If the passing attack is clicking the way it was, the Bills may only need the run game to keep defenses honest and to run the clock down at the end of the game.
Final Grade: B+
Wide Receivers / Tight Ends
While Emmanuel Sanders will get most of the attention thanks to his five receptions for 94 yards and two touchdowns, it was the wide receiver position as a whole that really shined. The skill sets that each receiver brings complement the other very well which causes big problems for opposing defenses.
Stefon Diggs is the number one wide receiver but he finished with only six receptions and 60 yards. While this would be an issue for other teams, the Bills have players like Sanders or Cole Beasley, who actually led the team with 11 receptions and 98 yards, that keep this offense on track.
In addition, Dawson Knox had one of the best games of his career with four receptions for 49 yards and one touchdown. While he doesn’t see a big volume of targets, he has been very effective over the first three weeks of the season.
Final Grade: A
Offensive Line
The Washington Football Team has an excellent defensive line with all four starters being selected in the first round picks since 2017. However, watching this game it would have been hard to tell with how well this offensive line played as Josh Allen was not sacked once and only hit six times.
After the struggles from the first week against the Pittsburgh Steelers, this offensive line has improved quickly and it shouldn’t be a coincidence that the offense has looked better.
Final Grade: A-
