Buffalo Bills offense relied on the big play in the first half- For most of this season, the Buffalo Bills offense hasn’t been able to connect on those big chunk plays in the passing game. However, on Sunday night that was not an issue.

Josh Allen had completions of 61 yards to Stefon Diggs, 53 yards to Dawson Knox, and 35 yards to Emmanuel Sanders in the first half.

One of the reasons this was possible was the offensive line did a good job protecting the starting quarterback. They made some pretty significant changes in Week 4 by moving Daryl Williams inside and starting rookie Spencer Brown at right tackle. The results have been great and this should be a permanent situation moving forward.

Dawson Knox continues breakout season – The Buffalo Bills starting tight end continues his remarkable season with a career game against the Kansas City Chiefs. He finished the game with three receptions, 117 yards and one touchdown.

There was plenty of concerns about Knox entering this season with the biggest being his struggle with drops. This issue is magnified considering tight ends have typically not been a big part of this offense and opportunities are limited.

However, he has corrected those drops and is making the most of his targets. He is becoming a favorite target of the Bills quarterback and doesn’t appear to be slowing down anytime soon.
