How much longer can the Bills wait on Tre'Davious White to improve?

They need more from both of their starting corners, but the CB2 spot is an area of concern because of White's play and injured rookies.

Lance Lysowski: How much longer can the Bills wait on Tre'Davious White to improve?

White has allowed 12 catches on 15 targets for 119 yards, 9.9 yards per reception, and one touchdown. He doesn't have the speed to keep up with the league's best, Lysowski says.

Josh Allen led the Bills on a 10-play, 71-yard scoring drive to start the second half.

Ended with Curtis Samuel's 6-yard TD catch. Buffalo lead 10-6.

Patriots had one play at the 1-yard line, but Hunter Henry dropped the ball.

They settle for a field goal to take a 6-3 lead over the Bills.

Josh Allen was sacked by Milton Williams on third down.

Pretty quick pressure there, but the Bills need their receivers to get open.

Khalil Shakir is beloved in Buffalo for more than the run-after-the-catch plays that he makes for the Bills.

The receiver and his wife, Sayler, started a foundation that's helped 55 rescue dogs get adopted by families.

"I would say right now we're not where we need to be as far as facing these scrambling quarterbacks."

The Bills face another one this week with Drake Maye coming to Orchard Park. The numbers through 4 games and how Buffalo's defense can improve:
buffalonews.com/sports/profe...

Bills are having trouble with scrambling quarterbacks. How will they handle Drake Maye?

Buffalo has allowed quarterbacks to rush for a league-high 199 rushing yards on 22 carries, nine of which have occurred on third down and eight that have gone for at least 10 yards.

What did Cole Bishop see in the seconds before his one-handed interception?

With insight from the locker room, plays that shaped the Bills' win over the Saints:

Bills plays that shaped the game: How safety Cole Bishop made his clutch interception

"It’s tough, because you have to make a split-second decision whether to play the man or the ball," Bishop said. "(I) made a choice to get the ball, and I was able to go get it."

"Still a lot to work on."

Sure is. The Bills were called for 11 penalties. They missed too many tackles, and their offense had a few more lulls. But they're 4-0 following their win over the Saints.

The Bills have committed seven penalties this afternoon, more than twice as many as they had in their Week 3 win over the Dolphins.

The Saints averaged 8.8 yards per play in the first quarter.

Not ideal for the Bills' defense, but they're leading 14-7 with New Orleans driving.

James Cook set a franchise record by scoring a rushing touchdown in an eighth consecutive game.

Cook ran for 29 yards on that drive. Josh Allen is 5 of 5 for 103 yards. The Bills lead 14-7.

Rough first drive for the Bills' defense ends with Kendre Miller's 18-yard TD run.

Broke multiple tackles. Saints drove 69 yards on seven plays. They went eight games without an opening TD drive, the longest streak in the NFL. It's 7-7 with 6:46 left in the first

What a run by Khalil Shakir.

Caught the screen on the right side of the formation, spun off an arm tackle and ran 43 yards yards for a TD. Bills 7, Saints 0.

RT Spencer Brown is among the Bills' inactives for Week 4:

CB/KR Brandon Codrington
CB Ja'Marcus Ingram

Pro Football Focus named Bills LG David Edwards as their offensive player of the week.

The guy hasn't allowed a sack in the regular season as a Bill, and he has quite the story.

Option QB in high school. College TE turned RT. My profile on Edwards:

Edwards hasn’t allowed a sack in his 36 regular-season games as a Buffalo Bill. And, to no one’s surprise, he hasn’t lost the humility and work ethic that guided him
