In today’s edition of the Buffalo Bills daily links, we take a look at the All-22 to search for potential solutions for what’s been ailing the defense this year, especially in the second half, and pinpoint the defensive line as being the biggest area of concern.
We also analyze how quarterback Josh Allen became the first Bill since 2011 (Ryan Fitzpatrick) to earn AFC Offensive Player of the Month honors and hear from Jon Gruden, the head coach of this week’s opponent, the Las Vegas Raiders, on how Allen got so good, so fast.
We break down how Allen, offensive coordinator Brian Daboll and a talented wide receiver corps led by Stefon Diggs have transformed the offense into one of the most prolific in the NFL, predict whether Allen and running back Devin Singletary will run wild over the Raiders, hear Bills players react to the news that many Raiders were not wearing masks during a charity event earlier in the week, remember the life of Mack Yoho, a defensive end and original member of the Bills, and much more!
