<v Speaker 1>time to be a Buffalo Bill and a fan of

0:00:55.400 --> 0:01:07.240
<v Speaker 1>the Buffalo Bills. Welcome into Week ten of the Sean

0:01:07.360 --> 0:01:11.440
<v Speaker 1>McDermott Show, presented by Connors and Ferris, your workers camp attorneys. Sean,

0:01:11.520 --> 0:01:13.600
<v Speaker 1>thanks as always for joining us. You're coming off three

0:01:13.680 --> 0:01:17.520
<v Speaker 1>straight wins, capped off with an enormous win over who

0:01:17.560 --> 0:01:19.560
<v Speaker 1>made what team that may be the best team in

0:01:19.640 --> 0:01:22.280
<v Speaker 1>the NFC. Your offense put up forty four points, your

0:01:22.319 --> 0:01:26.319
<v Speaker 1>defense forced four turnovers. What led to such a complimentary

0:01:26.319 --> 0:01:28.920
<v Speaker 1>performance out of both sides of the football, Well, I

0:01:28.959 --> 0:01:31.160
<v Speaker 1>think it started during the week of our practice, really

0:01:31.200 --> 0:01:33.880
<v Speaker 1>Steve with a great week of preparation, great game plans

0:01:33.920 --> 0:01:37.080
<v Speaker 1>and all three phases, and the players just played extremely

0:01:37.120 --> 0:01:39.559
<v Speaker 1>aggressive and free and it was just fun to watch,

0:01:39.600 --> 0:01:41.399
<v Speaker 1>fun to just be around that type of energy on

0:01:41.440 --> 0:01:44.319
<v Speaker 1>the sideline. Even. Yeah, it came out after the game

0:01:44.360 --> 0:01:47.560
<v Speaker 1>that Josh Lost's grandmother the night before, he still decided

0:01:47.600 --> 0:01:50.360
<v Speaker 1>he wanted to play. He came out and he had

0:01:50.440 --> 0:01:52.080
<v Speaker 1>maybe the best game of his career. What do you

0:01:52.120 --> 0:01:54.840
<v Speaker 1>think that showed your team? Well, number one, you know

0:01:54.880 --> 0:01:57.320
<v Speaker 1>that's not an easy thing to play through, you know.

0:01:57.440 --> 0:01:59.480
<v Speaker 1>Number two, I think it just shows that Josh loves

0:01:59.480 --> 0:02:01.400
<v Speaker 1>to compete, was to be around his teammates and is

0:02:01.440 --> 0:02:03.120
<v Speaker 1>going to be there for his team and that goes

0:02:03.120 --> 0:02:05.680
<v Speaker 1>a long way in terms of the accountability and then

0:02:05.760 --> 0:02:07.680
<v Speaker 1>wanting them to play for him. And look, it was.

0:02:07.720 --> 0:02:09.919
<v Speaker 1>It was a great performance, great great win for our

0:02:09.919 --> 0:02:13.800
<v Speaker 1>team and just I know, an emotionally charged win for

0:02:13.880 --> 0:02:17.360
<v Speaker 1>Josh as well. Yeah. Well, speaking of Josh, you put

0:02:17.360 --> 0:02:19.040
<v Speaker 1>the game in his hands in the first half. He

0:02:19.080 --> 0:02:22.160
<v Speaker 1>only ran it three times and he called thirty one

0:02:22.200 --> 0:02:24.280
<v Speaker 1>pass plays. It paid off, as he finished with four

0:02:24.360 --> 0:02:27.080
<v Speaker 1>hundred fifteen yards through the air four total touchdowns. And

0:02:27.160 --> 0:02:29.359
<v Speaker 1>this came a week after you called thirty eight run

0:02:29.400 --> 0:02:31.560
<v Speaker 1>plays against the Patriots and ran for one hundred and

0:02:31.639 --> 0:02:34.480
<v Speaker 1>ninety yards. What is the identity of this offense and

0:02:34.480 --> 0:02:37.760
<v Speaker 1>how does it play in to Josh's skills? Well, I

0:02:37.800 --> 0:02:40.440
<v Speaker 1>think we're working progress overall, Steve. You know, we've got

0:02:40.480 --> 0:02:43.120
<v Speaker 1>good practice opportunities this week to get better. And whether

0:02:43.120 --> 0:02:45.120
<v Speaker 1>it's the run game the pass game, you know we've

0:02:45.160 --> 0:02:47.120
<v Speaker 1>got we've got work to do, and just like our

0:02:47.280 --> 0:02:49.519
<v Speaker 1>entire football team does. So you know, we were able

0:02:49.560 --> 0:02:51.560
<v Speaker 1>to take advantage of some things obviously in the past

0:02:51.639 --> 0:02:54.600
<v Speaker 1>game this past weekend and in the run game that

0:02:54.639 --> 0:02:57.280
<v Speaker 1>the weekend before that, And so I think what we've

0:02:57.280 --> 0:02:59.360
<v Speaker 1>shown now is we can establish a lot of scrimmage,

0:02:59.440 --> 0:03:02.920
<v Speaker 1>yet we control the ball outside and whatnot. So you know,

0:03:03.040 --> 0:03:06.079
<v Speaker 1>just again depending on who's available and how we want

0:03:06.080 --> 0:03:09.280
<v Speaker 1>to attack, at least some options for us. Yeah. Well,

0:03:09.560 --> 0:03:11.680
<v Speaker 1>you had a twenty four ten heading into the half

0:03:11.720 --> 0:03:13.840
<v Speaker 1>and you never lost the lead, and while the Seahawks

0:03:13.880 --> 0:03:17.760
<v Speaker 1>eventually got it within one touchdown, your offense kept responding

0:03:17.760 --> 0:03:20.200
<v Speaker 1>and your defense kept stepping up. What was your message

0:03:20.200 --> 0:03:21.960
<v Speaker 1>to the team at half time to make sure you

0:03:22.040 --> 0:03:25.200
<v Speaker 1>finished the job against the Seahawks. Well, whenever you play

0:03:25.520 --> 0:03:28.000
<v Speaker 1>a Russell Wilson quarterback team, you know it's gonna be

0:03:28.040 --> 0:03:31.600
<v Speaker 1>sixty minutes. He's a winner. He's showing over the course

0:03:31.600 --> 0:03:34.079
<v Speaker 1>of time, time and time again, really that he can

0:03:34.120 --> 0:03:36.320
<v Speaker 1>come back from any deficit. And we knew we were

0:03:36.320 --> 0:03:38.400
<v Speaker 1>gonna have to play all sixty minutes or for however

0:03:38.480 --> 0:03:41.200
<v Speaker 1>long it took Steve and I credit our players with

0:03:41.240 --> 0:03:44.520
<v Speaker 1>that winning mentality down the stretch to close him out. Well,

0:03:44.600 --> 0:03:46.800
<v Speaker 1>let's talk about your defense on that side of the ball. Year,

0:03:46.880 --> 0:03:50.120
<v Speaker 1>he had four takeaways, two interceptions, two strip sacks, and

0:03:50.200 --> 0:03:52.720
<v Speaker 1>coming into the game, Russell Wilson was the heavy favorite

0:03:52.720 --> 0:03:55.800
<v Speaker 1>to win the MVP in the NFL and passing touchdowns

0:03:55.840 --> 0:03:58.520
<v Speaker 1>passer rating. How do you manage to force so many

0:03:58.560 --> 0:04:02.040
<v Speaker 1>turnovers from Russell? Well, it comes back to our mindset.

0:04:02.280 --> 0:04:04.560
<v Speaker 1>We wanted to get off to a good start on defense.

0:04:04.600 --> 0:04:06.840
<v Speaker 1>I thought Leslie Fraser and the defensive staff shaped a

0:04:06.920 --> 0:04:10.080
<v Speaker 1>great game plan and it was aggressive, and I think

0:04:10.080 --> 0:04:12.440
<v Speaker 1>our players really embraced that type of game plan this

0:04:12.520 --> 0:04:15.360
<v Speaker 1>past week and they executed again at a high level. Now,

0:04:15.440 --> 0:04:18.360
<v Speaker 1>before the game, you placed Matt Milano on injured reserve

0:04:18.400 --> 0:04:21.159
<v Speaker 1>and Aj Klein got to start in his spot. Klein

0:04:21.279 --> 0:04:24.240
<v Speaker 1>had two sacks, one of which he forced and recovered

0:04:24.240 --> 0:04:27.279
<v Speaker 1>a fumble. He also had five tackles, one tackle for loss,

0:04:27.520 --> 0:04:30.960
<v Speaker 1>four quarterback hits, a pass breakup. How great was it

0:04:31.000 --> 0:04:33.240
<v Speaker 1>to see him step up so big with Matt Milano

0:04:33.240 --> 0:04:36.400
<v Speaker 1>out of the lineup. Yeah. Aj is a good football player,

0:04:36.440 --> 0:04:38.880
<v Speaker 1>and he's kind of knocking off the rust in the

0:04:38.960 --> 0:04:41.120
<v Speaker 1>system again and that was great to see him play

0:04:41.160 --> 0:04:44.039
<v Speaker 1>aggressive and really trust himself and his instincts and his

0:04:44.120 --> 0:04:46.520
<v Speaker 1>gut feeling. You know how important that is as a

0:04:46.520 --> 0:04:48.560
<v Speaker 1>football player. You don't have time to think. You got

0:04:48.560 --> 0:04:50.400
<v Speaker 1>to react, and I thought Aj did a phenomenal job

0:04:50.400 --> 0:04:53.560
<v Speaker 1>of this past weekend. Well, Jerry Hughes recorded a sack

0:04:53.560 --> 0:04:56.240
<v Speaker 1>in three straight games. Your pass rush has improved greatly,

0:04:56.279 --> 0:04:58.320
<v Speaker 1>and as a team you had five sacks and eleven

0:04:58.360 --> 0:05:01.200
<v Speaker 1>quarterback hits on Russell Wilson. How have you managed to

0:05:01.240 --> 0:05:03.480
<v Speaker 1>create more pressure and how has that led to an

0:05:03.480 --> 0:05:07.479
<v Speaker 1>overall improvement from your entire defense. Well, it's whenever you

0:05:07.480 --> 0:05:10.279
<v Speaker 1>can affect the quarterback. It's a good thing. And no

0:05:10.320 --> 0:05:12.200
<v Speaker 1>matter how many times they drop back the pass, you

0:05:12.200 --> 0:05:14.240
<v Speaker 1>want to be able to affect that that position, get

0:05:14.279 --> 0:05:17.080
<v Speaker 1>him off his spot. It doesn't necessarily mean always sacking them. Now,

0:05:17.120 --> 0:05:19.280
<v Speaker 1>we love sacks, but if we can just get him

0:05:19.279 --> 0:05:22.040
<v Speaker 1>to move, get in his arm, kind of get him

0:05:22.040 --> 0:05:24.880
<v Speaker 1>to change his arms, trajectory or his vision, all of

0:05:24.920 --> 0:05:28.200
<v Speaker 1>that help affect the coverage and then obviously the coverage

0:05:28.200 --> 0:05:30.240
<v Speaker 1>and the front work together and getting them down in

0:05:30.240 --> 0:05:32.720
<v Speaker 1>a sax situation. All right, coach, Thanks, We're going to

0:05:32.800 --> 0:05:34.240
<v Speaker 1>catch up with you later in the show to get

0:05:34.240 --> 0:05:37.000
<v Speaker 1>your final thoughts on your upcoming matchup with the Cardinals.

0:05:37.640 --> 0:05:42.080
<v Speaker 1>Chopping Wood is presented by Saint Bonaventure University, the official

0:05:42.240 --> 0:05:47.279
<v Speaker 1>education provider of the Buffalo Bills. Welcome back to the

0:05:47.279 --> 0:05:50.200
<v Speaker 1>Sean McDermott Show. It's time for another edition of Chopping

0:05:50.240 --> 0:05:53.480
<v Speaker 1>Wood with our good friend Eric Wood. He Josh Allen

0:05:53.520 --> 0:05:56.080
<v Speaker 1>had another incredible game with over four hundred yards through

0:05:56.120 --> 0:05:58.560
<v Speaker 1>the air, four total touchdowns, and on the other side

0:05:58.600 --> 0:06:01.560
<v Speaker 1>of the ball, the defense forced four turnovers and really

0:06:01.560 --> 0:06:04.360
<v Speaker 1>helped the offense keep their momentum. What was the key

0:06:04.400 --> 0:06:07.640
<v Speaker 1>to the Bills playing such great complimentary football. Well, when

0:06:07.640 --> 0:06:09.960
<v Speaker 1>you look at the Bills passing attack, they came into

0:06:10.000 --> 0:06:13.000
<v Speaker 1>this game knowing they wanted to attack the Seahawks defense,

0:06:13.040 --> 0:06:16.920
<v Speaker 1>which came into this game ranked thirty second in the

0:06:17.000 --> 0:06:20.200
<v Speaker 1>league in past defense, and the Bills did not shy

0:06:20.279 --> 0:06:22.920
<v Speaker 1>away from their game plan. They only had three runs

0:06:22.920 --> 0:06:26.080
<v Speaker 1>in the entire first half. They threw a thirty one times,

0:06:26.279 --> 0:06:28.880
<v Speaker 1>and the Bills came out firing through the air. Let's

0:06:28.880 --> 0:06:30.640
<v Speaker 1>start on the offensive side of the ball and take

0:06:30.640 --> 0:06:32.880
<v Speaker 1>a look at Josh Allen's first touchdown of the game.

0:06:33.200 --> 0:06:34.800
<v Speaker 1>This was a common theme throughout the game, but I

0:06:34.800 --> 0:06:38.279
<v Speaker 1>thought the offensive line, despite having seven sacks, dealt with

0:06:38.320 --> 0:06:41.279
<v Speaker 1>a lot of adversity with injuries and was able to

0:06:41.279 --> 0:06:44.040
<v Speaker 1>give Josh Allen some really great pass protection, especially with

0:06:44.080 --> 0:06:46.800
<v Speaker 1>all the blitzing that the Seahawks brought. And this was

0:06:46.839 --> 0:06:50.440
<v Speaker 1>a great throw by Josh Allen, hitting Isaiah McKenzie coming

0:06:50.440 --> 0:06:52.720
<v Speaker 1>across the middle of the field on a crossing route

0:06:52.720 --> 0:06:55.880
<v Speaker 1>out of a three by one set. And Isaiah McKenzie

0:06:56.000 --> 0:07:00.520
<v Speaker 1>is not generally one of Josh Allen's first targets reads

0:07:00.560 --> 0:07:02.119
<v Speaker 1>on a play, and you see it here. He looks

0:07:02.160 --> 0:07:05.680
<v Speaker 1>off twice before pulling the trigger for a touchdown in

0:07:05.760 --> 0:07:08.360
<v Speaker 1>a great way to open the game, and it kept

0:07:08.440 --> 0:07:11.240
<v Speaker 1>up for Josh's second touchdown. They brought in a heavy

0:07:11.280 --> 0:07:14.000
<v Speaker 1>formation on the goal line and this one was a

0:07:14.040 --> 0:07:16.720
<v Speaker 1>thing of beauty. The Bills has done everything inside the

0:07:16.760 --> 0:07:19.200
<v Speaker 1>five yard line, for running with extra offensive line and

0:07:19.280 --> 0:07:21.800
<v Speaker 1>all tight ends to spreading it out and going five wide,

0:07:21.800 --> 0:07:24.280
<v Speaker 1>and here they run a pass play. They run play action.

0:07:24.320 --> 0:07:25.880
<v Speaker 1>At first it looked like he might try and hit

0:07:25.920 --> 0:07:27.680
<v Speaker 1>Dawson knocks going out in the flat, and then he

0:07:27.760 --> 0:07:31.120
<v Speaker 1>comes out and throws an absolute laser to Tyler Croft

0:07:31.160 --> 0:07:33.280
<v Speaker 1>in the back of the end zone. And this ball,

0:07:33.320 --> 0:07:36.000
<v Speaker 1>I think it might have stuck to Tyler Croft's chest

0:07:36.280 --> 0:07:38.840
<v Speaker 1>he threw it so hard. But this is a great throw,

0:07:38.880 --> 0:07:41.920
<v Speaker 1>a great decision by Josh Allen. Also the next touchdown,

0:07:42.000 --> 0:07:44.960
<v Speaker 1>after a tradavious White interception of Bills are again in

0:07:45.000 --> 0:07:48.320
<v Speaker 1>a goal to ghost situation. They give us another look. Yeah,

0:07:48.320 --> 0:07:51.640
<v Speaker 1>this time they started an empty set with a different

0:07:51.640 --> 0:07:54.280
<v Speaker 1>personnel in the game. So they bring Zach Moss across

0:07:54.320 --> 0:07:57.160
<v Speaker 1>the formation with a jet suee motion going towards the

0:07:57.240 --> 0:07:59.920
<v Speaker 1>left hand side, and then here comes the convoy of

0:08:00.080 --> 0:08:02.720
<v Speaker 1>blockers out to the right for our quarterback sweep with

0:08:02.840 --> 0:08:06.440
<v Speaker 1>Josh Allen. You see great blocks in space here, and

0:08:06.520 --> 0:08:09.280
<v Speaker 1>you see the athleticism of this offensive line. Two. First

0:08:09.280 --> 0:08:11.720
<v Speaker 1>it's Darryl Williams out in space, and then you see

0:08:11.800 --> 0:08:15.680
<v Speaker 1>John Feliciano get an incredible cut block on Carlos Dunn

0:08:15.800 --> 0:08:18.520
<v Speaker 1>lap for a walk in touchdown. And when the Bills

0:08:18.520 --> 0:08:21.040
<v Speaker 1>are getting touchdowns as easy as you saw those last

0:08:21.080 --> 0:08:23.720
<v Speaker 1>two in the red zone, that's an incredible thing by

0:08:23.760 --> 0:08:26.920
<v Speaker 1>this offense. Yeah, as we said, the defense forced four turnover,

0:08:27.000 --> 0:08:28.880
<v Speaker 1>So let's flip the script and look at how they

0:08:28.960 --> 0:08:31.640
<v Speaker 1>took the ball away and slowed down the top offense

0:08:31.680 --> 0:08:35.000
<v Speaker 1>in the National Football League, starting with Jordan Poyer's interception

0:08:35.040 --> 0:08:38.040
<v Speaker 1>in the first quarter. If this interception looked familiar to you,

0:08:38.080 --> 0:08:40.080
<v Speaker 1>we got to hear after the game from Jordan Poyer

0:08:40.120 --> 0:08:43.200
<v Speaker 1>and Micah Hide that this was essentially the same play,

0:08:43.400 --> 0:08:46.680
<v Speaker 1>the same read that Micah Hyde used to intercept Tom

0:08:46.720 --> 0:08:49.680
<v Speaker 1>Brady against the Patriots last year in Orchard Park in

0:08:49.720 --> 0:08:51.880
<v Speaker 1>the red zone. And this is a great job by

0:08:51.960 --> 0:08:56.040
<v Speaker 1>Jerry us pressuring Russell Wilson, forcing him to make an

0:08:56.160 --> 0:08:59.240
<v Speaker 1>off balanced throw, and Jordan Poyer comes up with the

0:08:59.280 --> 0:09:02.080
<v Speaker 1>interception on fourth and one for the Bills. Now let's

0:09:02.080 --> 0:09:04.160
<v Speaker 1>go to crunch time. It's the fourth quarter in the

0:09:04.240 --> 0:09:07.040
<v Speaker 1>defense gets back to back sacks to set up a

0:09:07.120 --> 0:09:10.320
<v Speaker 1>third and twenty five and this is where Turdevious gets

0:09:10.320 --> 0:09:14.640
<v Speaker 1>his interception and Turdevious White shows great savvy here by

0:09:14.720 --> 0:09:19.080
<v Speaker 1>what's now our experience lockdown cornerback in Buffalo and Trdavious White,

0:09:19.080 --> 0:09:22.400
<v Speaker 1>former first round pick for them, comes back out of

0:09:22.440 --> 0:09:24.280
<v Speaker 1>his read. And when you're able to force a third

0:09:24.280 --> 0:09:26.400
<v Speaker 1>and twenty five, you can do stuff like this. He's

0:09:26.440 --> 0:09:29.040
<v Speaker 1>able to leave his guy that's on a shorter route,

0:09:29.120 --> 0:09:31.679
<v Speaker 1>knowing that he can't get the first down even if

0:09:31.679 --> 0:09:33.640
<v Speaker 1>the ball is completed to him, and he goes and

0:09:33.679 --> 0:09:36.439
<v Speaker 1>picks off Russell Wilson. He gets the ball almost down

0:09:36.480 --> 0:09:38.600
<v Speaker 1>to the goal line. Again, got the hear from after

0:09:38.679 --> 0:09:40.800
<v Speaker 1>the game that Micah Hydes and Jordan Poynter, those guys

0:09:40.840 --> 0:09:43.400
<v Speaker 1>are having some fun with Turdevious not being able to

0:09:43.400 --> 0:09:45.440
<v Speaker 1>finish with this ball in the end zone. Well, with

0:09:45.520 --> 0:09:48.120
<v Speaker 1>Russell Wilson a quarterback, the Seahawks always seem to be

0:09:48.200 --> 0:09:51.079
<v Speaker 1>gaining momentum and that didn't stop here and aj Klein

0:09:51.240 --> 0:09:54.439
<v Speaker 1>comes up with an enormous strip sack on a third

0:09:54.480 --> 0:09:57.040
<v Speaker 1>and two. Yeah. With the Seahawks are never out of

0:09:57.080 --> 0:09:59.760
<v Speaker 1>the game. They have such a prolific offense and this

0:10:00.000 --> 0:10:03.720
<v Speaker 1>on this play, Leslie Frazier and Sean mcderman designed a

0:10:03.760 --> 0:10:06.080
<v Speaker 1>great play call. So they line up the defensive ends

0:10:06.200 --> 0:10:09.360
<v Speaker 1>inside of the defensive tackles who they put tremade Edmonds

0:10:09.360 --> 0:10:12.280
<v Speaker 1>and aj Clin on the line outside. This gets both

0:10:12.280 --> 0:10:15.360
<v Speaker 1>sides of the line to squeeze down Russell Wilson knows

0:10:15.400 --> 0:10:17.760
<v Speaker 1>it's only a four man rush. He feels like he

0:10:17.840 --> 0:10:20.680
<v Speaker 1>should be protected, but the right garden right tackle have

0:10:20.840 --> 0:10:24.160
<v Speaker 1>to squeeze down to that defensive end in the a gap.

0:10:24.360 --> 0:10:27.840
<v Speaker 1>This allows aj Clin to come completely unblocked off the

0:10:28.000 --> 0:10:30.600
<v Speaker 1>edge and a great job at him closing in space,

0:10:30.679 --> 0:10:34.439
<v Speaker 1>going after the football and coming away with the fumble recovery.

0:10:34.559 --> 0:10:36.960
<v Speaker 1>It was great to see some complimentary football from the

0:10:36.960 --> 0:10:39.640
<v Speaker 1>Buffalo Bills against the Seattle Seahawks. If they play like

0:10:39.679 --> 0:10:42.800
<v Speaker 1>that every week, they can beat anyone in the league. Eric,

0:10:42.840 --> 0:10:45.600
<v Speaker 1>thanks for this. Yeah, thank you, Steve. As a pleasure.

0:10:46.360 --> 0:10:49.080
<v Speaker 1>Mattie glab Here with this week's game preview, the seven

0:10:49.160 --> 0:10:51.640
<v Speaker 1>and two Buffalo Bills are heading to Arizona to face

0:10:51.640 --> 0:10:54.079
<v Speaker 1>the five and three Cardinals for the first time since

0:10:54.080 --> 0:10:57.880
<v Speaker 1>twenty sixteen. The Colonel's offense averages four hundred and twenty

0:10:57.880 --> 0:11:00.280
<v Speaker 1>two total yards per game, which is the best in

0:11:00.320 --> 0:11:03.120
<v Speaker 1>the NFL and ranks second on the ground, rushing for

0:11:03.280 --> 0:11:06.480
<v Speaker 1>just over one hundred and sixty yards a game. That's

0:11:06.520 --> 0:11:10.120
<v Speaker 1>thanks to second year quarterback Kyler Murray, who leads quarterbacks

0:11:10.120 --> 0:11:12.800
<v Speaker 1>with five hundred and forty three rushing yards and eight

0:11:12.880 --> 0:11:17.040
<v Speaker 1>rushing touchdowns. Arizona's defense is eighth, allowing only twenty two

0:11:17.080 --> 0:11:19.440
<v Speaker 1>and a half points per game and allows red zone

0:11:19.480 --> 0:11:22.679
<v Speaker 1>touchdowns only fifty percent of the time. Josh Allen is

0:11:22.760 --> 0:11:25.480
<v Speaker 1>third in the league with two thousand, five hundred and

0:11:25.600 --> 0:11:28.520
<v Speaker 1>eighty seven passing yards. Bills receivers have had a lot

0:11:28.559 --> 0:11:31.040
<v Speaker 1>of success this year, and we'll look to continue that

0:11:31.200 --> 0:11:34.280
<v Speaker 1>against the Cardinals as Stefan Diggs leads the NFL and

0:11:34.360 --> 0:11:38.360
<v Speaker 1>receptions with sixty three and receiving yards with eight hundred

0:11:38.400 --> 0:11:41.760
<v Speaker 1>and thirteen. Diggs and Colebeasley combined for one thousand, three

0:11:41.840 --> 0:11:44.840
<v Speaker 1>hundred and forty six receiving yards, which ranks third for

0:11:44.960 --> 0:11:49.240
<v Speaker 1>wide receiver duos. The Bills defense ranks eighteenth in total yards,

0:11:49.360 --> 0:11:52.360
<v Speaker 1>allowing three hundred and sixty four point nine yards per game.

0:11:52.640 --> 0:11:55.239
<v Speaker 1>And we'll look to build off their four forced turnovers

0:11:55.280 --> 0:11:59.080
<v Speaker 1>against Seattle, as they are fourth with fourteen takeaways this season.

0:11:59.520 --> 0:12:02.760
<v Speaker 1>Buffalo lease the series against the Cardinals with seven wins

0:12:02.840 --> 0:12:07.000
<v Speaker 1>and four losses. That's this week's game preview, Steve back

0:12:07.040 --> 0:12:11.360
<v Speaker 1>to you. Thanks as always, Mattie, coach. You've won three straight,

0:12:11.400 --> 0:12:13.760
<v Speaker 1>You've got one more game against the Cardinals before you

0:12:13.840 --> 0:12:15.880
<v Speaker 1>head into your bye week. How important it is it

0:12:16.280 --> 0:12:19.360
<v Speaker 1>that you can keep this momentum rolling into the bye. Well,

0:12:19.360 --> 0:12:21.360
<v Speaker 1>that'll be the challenge this week. We go up against

0:12:21.400 --> 0:12:23.840
<v Speaker 1>a very tough Arizona team that we play out there.

0:12:23.960 --> 0:12:27.520
<v Speaker 1>We traveled across country and they're an explosive offense again

0:12:27.800 --> 0:12:30.960
<v Speaker 1>and in a good overall football team. So it'll be

0:12:30.960 --> 0:12:33.800
<v Speaker 1>a big test for us. Now, you're facing Kyler Murray

0:12:33.840 --> 0:12:35.360
<v Speaker 1>this week. He had a game last week where he

0:12:35.360 --> 0:12:37.840
<v Speaker 1>had one hundred and six rushing yards two hundred and

0:12:37.880 --> 0:12:40.959
<v Speaker 1>eighty three passing yards against the Dolphins. He's got eight

0:12:41.040 --> 0:12:43.560
<v Speaker 1>rushing touchdowns this year. What's the key to stopping a

0:12:43.559 --> 0:12:47.240
<v Speaker 1>true dual threat quarterback like Kyler Murray? Well, this will

0:12:47.280 --> 0:12:50.360
<v Speaker 1>be my first time coaching against Kyler Murray, and he's

0:12:50.360 --> 0:12:54.240
<v Speaker 1>certainly a special in elite talent, both with his feed

0:12:54.320 --> 0:12:56.640
<v Speaker 1>and being able to throw the ball. There's a reason

0:12:56.679 --> 0:12:58.680
<v Speaker 1>he was Rookie of the Year and productive in his

0:12:58.720 --> 0:13:00.679
<v Speaker 1>first season. Now he's off to even better starting the

0:13:00.760 --> 0:13:03.160
<v Speaker 1>second season. So they're putting up a lot of points.

0:13:03.160 --> 0:13:05.959
<v Speaker 1>They've got weapons in the backfield, weapons outside now with

0:13:06.080 --> 0:13:08.280
<v Speaker 1>adding Hopkins this season, So we're gonna have to have

0:13:08.320 --> 0:13:10.920
<v Speaker 1>a great plan and a great week of practice. All right, coach,

0:13:11.000 --> 0:13:13.520
<v Speaker 1>thanks and good luck this weekend against Arizona. You're giving

0:13:13.600 --> 0:13:15.960
<v Speaker 1>us next week off. We appreciate that for the bye week,

0:13:16.000 --> 0:13:17.800
