At this point, his greatest weapon is his mind. The best way to deploy that weapon? Spread defenses out with receivers and let him perform surgery… all while daring teams to punt. www.golongtd.com/p/the-greate...

Oh, Brian Daboll is available now? Fwiw, he's always had a special relationship with Josh Allen. Been described repeatedly as a father-son dynamic.
Has he mended fences with McDermott? That's the unknown, I suppose.

One major key? Maxwell Hairston. #Bills rookie corner knew he'd 1 on 1 vs. Xavier Worthy.
