Quarterback
The game didn’t get off to a great start for Josh Allen as he threw an interception on his very first pass attempt of this game. The Buffalo Bills defense was able to force a turnover on downs and then Allen’s next pass attempt didn’t look much better.
However, after that throw everything seemed to fall into place for Allen and he would complete 20 of his next 27 pass attempts, throwing for 248 passing yards with two touchdowns while adding 41 rushing yards.
The fact the Bills were up so big, it also gave Mitchell Trubisky to play some this week and he completed his only pass attempt for eight yards but added four rushing attempts for 10 yards and one rushing touchdown.
Grade: B
Running Backs
Devin Singletary and Zack Moss continue to split the work at the running back position and remain highly effective with the work they are given. Devin Singletary finished the game as the leading rusher with 79 yards on 14 carries with Zack Moss adding 61 yards on 14 carries but he also added a rushing touchdown.
The biggest negative is that once again the Bills had a running back fumble the ball with Singletary putting one on the ground. The good news is that it was recovered and the weather certainly could have been a factor but this has been a trend for most of this season and should be a concern.
Grade: B
Wide Receivers/Tight Ends
Every game this season, it has seemingly been a different wide receiver who gets a turn at being the primary target for Josh Allen. In Week 1, it was Gabriel Davis who made the big plays with the only receiving touchdown, in Week 2 it was Stefon Diggs leading the way with 60 receiving yards and a touchdown while last week it was Emmanuel Sanders.
This week it was back to Diggs leading the way for the receivers as he had 7 receptions for 114 receiving yards but the story of this week was tight end Dawson Knox. The third-year tight end has continued his strong play and had five receptions for 37 yards and two touchdowns, which is a career-high.
If Dawson Knox continues to play this way, it is only going to put more pressure on opposing defenses and should make life for Josh Allen that much easier.
Grade: A-
Offensive Line
The Buffalo Bills went with almost an entirely new offensive line this week with Dion Dawkins and Mitch Morse the only starters from the prior week at their positions. Starting guard Jon Feliciano was out this week due to a concussion and was replaced by Ike Boettger but the story was the right side of the line with Daryl Williams sliding inside to guard and rookie Spencer Brown getting the start at right tackle.
The results were pretty good to say the least as Josh Allen was sacked only once, had four QB hits and the Bills’ running backs had plenty of room to run and as an offense finished with an average of 5 yards per carry.
The Bills will likely try to get Jon Feliciano back into the lineup once he is healthy but it wouldn’t be surprising if they stuck with the right side of this line as long as they continue to play this well.
