The quarterback competition may have become a bit clearer for the Buffalo Bills on Friday night for a couple of reasons. The positive is that Josh Allen continued to perform well, leading the Bills to three scoring drives while working in the second and third quarters. Unfortunately, AJ McCarron may be on the outside looking in at the competition, after reports of an injured collarbone during the game. More details are expected this weekend on the severity of the injuries to McCarron and defensive tackle Kyle Williams.
There is plenty of coverage below from Friday night’s games including updates on Nathan Peterman, Marcus Murphy, Tremaine Edmunds and much more.
