In today’s edition of the Buffalo Bills daily links, we hand out position-by-position grades for the Bills after their heartbreaking, gut-wrenching, 32-30 loss to the Arizona Cardinals in Week 10.
Linebackers Tremaine Edmunds and A.J. Klein, wide receivers Cole Beasley and Stefon Diggs and kicker Tyler Bass received high marks, while running back Devin Singletary, guard Brian Winters, defensive tackle Quinton Jefferson and punter Corey Bojorquez did not.
While much of the focus from Sunday’s loss will (rightfully so) go towards the improbable Hail Mary completion, it wasn’t the only reason the Bills suffered a defeat. We hear from head coach Sean McDermott and other Bills players react to the Hail Mary, analyze how the Cardinals’ ever-changing defense rattled and surprised Josh Allen, hear from one columnist why Bills fans need to take a page from the Aaron Rodgers playbook when dealing with this setback, discuss why Buffalo’s defense seems to be turning the corner, dissect the surprising news that center Mitch Morse was a healthy scratch, and much more!
