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

<v Speaker 1>of the Buffalo Bills. Where please be joining Sean McDermott again. Coach,

0:00:40.240 --> 0:00:42.840
<v Speaker 1>you know you saw this last weekend. The Atlanta Falcons

0:00:43.240 --> 0:00:45.480
<v Speaker 1>upset the seven and one New Orleans Saints. She saw

0:00:45.600 --> 0:00:47.920
<v Speaker 1>Tennessee Titans beat the Kansas City chief She saw the

0:00:47.960 --> 0:00:50.680
<v Speaker 1>Miami Dolphins get their second win. Of course, the Buffalo game.

0:00:50.760 --> 0:00:53.000
<v Speaker 1>Six and two, Buffalo going in two and six Cleveland.

0:00:53.200 --> 0:00:55.360
<v Speaker 1>It's a hard league to win in and the margins

0:00:55.360 --> 0:00:58.120
<v Speaker 1>are really small, and it's hard to do it, particularly

0:00:58.160 --> 0:01:01.080
<v Speaker 1>on the road. Well, it is, Steven, and those are

0:01:01.080 --> 0:01:04.000
<v Speaker 1>the lessons we've tried to impart on our young football team,

0:01:04.000 --> 0:01:07.440
<v Speaker 1>and that you got to play every week regardless of

0:01:07.440 --> 0:01:09.400
<v Speaker 1>the records. You got to bring your a game. And

0:01:10.200 --> 0:01:13.440
<v Speaker 1>we saw this week how important that is around the league,

0:01:13.440 --> 0:01:16.040
<v Speaker 1>in our game in particular. You go into a Cleveland

0:01:16.040 --> 0:01:18.640
<v Speaker 1>team where in the preseason highly talent. Are they going

0:01:18.680 --> 0:01:20.520
<v Speaker 1>to be a contender in the AFC? In the conference?

0:01:20.720 --> 0:01:23.680
<v Speaker 1>They've started out to a rocky start, really talented club.

0:01:23.959 --> 0:01:26.160
<v Speaker 1>But you can continue to lean on your defense. They

0:01:26.200 --> 0:01:28.960
<v Speaker 1>held those guys to nineteen points with all those weapons,

0:01:29.080 --> 0:01:31.759
<v Speaker 1>even including Kareem Hunt who was inserted in. Yeah, they've

0:01:31.800 --> 0:01:37.360
<v Speaker 1>got a healthy array of weapons, probably unseen unlike most

0:01:37.840 --> 0:01:41.360
<v Speaker 1>teams in terms of the number of weapons offensively. But

0:01:41.440 --> 0:01:45.160
<v Speaker 1>I thought overall our defense gave us a chance at times,

0:01:45.160 --> 0:01:48.400
<v Speaker 1>but overall wasn't good enough. And I think the ownership

0:01:48.440 --> 0:01:51.400
<v Speaker 1>and the accountability of our defense and the members of

0:01:51.440 --> 0:01:54.080
<v Speaker 1>our defense they take that to heart and we've got

0:01:54.080 --> 0:01:55.800
<v Speaker 1>to build on that. Yeah. One of the things about

0:01:55.800 --> 0:01:58.840
<v Speaker 1>that defense is it continues to play good football. Is

0:01:58.920 --> 0:02:01.280
<v Speaker 1>something you never see in the league these days. A

0:02:01.280 --> 0:02:04.000
<v Speaker 1>goal line stand, man, oh man, what a stout stand.

0:02:04.040 --> 0:02:06.160
<v Speaker 1>Eight plays in a row inside the two yard line.

0:02:06.400 --> 0:02:08.600
<v Speaker 1>And in fact, even the penalties they took. The Poyer

0:02:08.680 --> 0:02:10.840
<v Speaker 1>penalty was a smart thing to do on first down,

0:02:10.840 --> 0:02:14.400
<v Speaker 1>to take the interference penalty. It ended up you Stone Walham,

0:02:14.440 --> 0:02:16.360
<v Speaker 1>and it's something you almost never see in the league.

0:02:16.400 --> 0:02:18.160
<v Speaker 1>And yet you guys pulled it off. Yeah you don't

0:02:18.919 --> 0:02:21.239
<v Speaker 1>or very rarely do you anymore. To your point, the

0:02:21.320 --> 0:02:25.320
<v Speaker 1>guy's just the character. I mean, Jordan Poyer's penalty, taking

0:02:25.360 --> 0:02:29.440
<v Speaker 1>a penalty in that situation, playing smart, situational football. That

0:02:29.560 --> 0:02:32.840
<v Speaker 1>just shows me how we've grown in that situation on

0:02:32.840 --> 0:02:34.880
<v Speaker 1>that side of the ball in particular. And the character

0:02:35.520 --> 0:02:38.200
<v Speaker 1>of the way the guys they stood up for seven

0:02:38.280 --> 0:02:41.360
<v Speaker 1>eight plays. That's hard to do in training camp, let

0:02:41.400 --> 0:02:44.519
<v Speaker 1>alone in a regular season game. Now you get down

0:02:44.520 --> 0:02:46.359
<v Speaker 1>there and one of the guys that stood out as

0:02:46.720 --> 0:02:48.799
<v Speaker 1>Cleveland tried everything to get in and they tried to

0:02:48.840 --> 0:02:51.400
<v Speaker 1>go over the top to Odell Beckham Junior, Tredavious White

0:02:51.880 --> 0:02:53.880
<v Speaker 1>on the play in the end zone, he knocked it away.

0:02:53.919 --> 0:02:57.600
<v Speaker 1>But also all day it took a really elite player

0:02:57.600 --> 0:03:00.720
<v Speaker 1>like Odell Beckham Junior. He was even limited in his

0:03:00.880 --> 0:03:04.520
<v Speaker 1>play when he was on his unbelievable effort, probably the

0:03:04.560 --> 0:03:07.280
<v Speaker 1>toughest player on the field force with tra Davis White

0:03:07.680 --> 0:03:10.880
<v Speaker 1>and just the way he battled and and you know

0:03:10.919 --> 0:03:13.080
<v Speaker 1>he rolls to the challenges. What you and that's what

0:03:13.160 --> 0:03:16.240
<v Speaker 1>you want to see from a young player that's challenging

0:03:16.320 --> 0:03:19.080
<v Speaker 1>the way of guarding a player like Odell Beckham junior,

0:03:19.160 --> 0:03:21.760
<v Speaker 1>and he did it, and he did it extremely well. Yeah.

0:03:21.800 --> 0:03:24.040
<v Speaker 1>One of the things in an offensive year where you're

0:03:24.040 --> 0:03:26.240
<v Speaker 1>trying to develop Josh and you're trying to, you know,

0:03:26.360 --> 0:03:29.200
<v Speaker 1>struggle to score points, sometimes the thing that you're really

0:03:29.240 --> 0:03:30.760
<v Speaker 1>good at. You get down to the red zone and

0:03:30.800 --> 0:03:32.760
<v Speaker 1>this team is hard to keep out of the end zone.

0:03:32.800 --> 0:03:35.560
<v Speaker 1>Seventy percent of the time they're scoring touchdowns down there.

0:03:35.800 --> 0:03:37.400
<v Speaker 1>Nobody else can come close to that in the league.

0:03:37.440 --> 0:03:39.280
<v Speaker 1>Why is it that you're so effective when you get

0:03:39.320 --> 0:03:42.240
<v Speaker 1>down close. Well, we've got multiple threats. We can run it.

0:03:42.360 --> 0:03:45.680
<v Speaker 1>Josh can run it, as we've seen, and the receivers can.

0:03:45.760 --> 0:03:48.120
<v Speaker 1>You know, we've got some good concepts going on down there.

0:03:48.160 --> 0:03:50.200
<v Speaker 1>And the protect It all starts up front with the protection,

0:03:50.240 --> 0:03:51.920
<v Speaker 1>whether it's the run game or the pass game, with

0:03:51.960 --> 0:03:55.440
<v Speaker 1>our offensive line and giving Josh time. And so it's

0:03:55.480 --> 0:03:57.480
<v Speaker 1>the biggest challenge for us has been in that fringe

0:03:57.480 --> 0:04:00.160
<v Speaker 1>area once we crossed the fifty, getting into that one

0:04:00.200 --> 0:04:02.080
<v Speaker 1>of yard lining in and so we've got to make

0:04:02.120 --> 0:04:04.840
<v Speaker 1>sure we go back and evaluate that and look at

0:04:04.880 --> 0:04:06.840
<v Speaker 1>that hard. Yeah, you guys knew coming into this year

0:04:06.840 --> 0:04:08.960
<v Speaker 1>you're gonna have a young, developing quarterback. You're gonna play

0:04:09.000 --> 0:04:12.200
<v Speaker 1>complimentary football, and you really got some help from the

0:04:12.200 --> 0:04:16.080
<v Speaker 1>special teams this week. Corey Brewerk has really had his

0:04:16.160 --> 0:04:19.000
<v Speaker 1>best game of the year and set up really what

0:04:19.040 --> 0:04:20.960
<v Speaker 1>was this early safety in the second half with an

0:04:20.960 --> 0:04:23.880
<v Speaker 1>ice punt inside the ten. Yeah, huge punt. It flipped

0:04:23.880 --> 0:04:27.400
<v Speaker 1>the field for us and probably to your point, Corey's

0:04:27.440 --> 0:04:30.560
<v Speaker 1>best days as a Buffalo Bill. He's another young player

0:04:30.600 --> 0:04:33.040
<v Speaker 1>that was challenged a little bit last year and now

0:04:33.040 --> 0:04:34.960
<v Speaker 1>he's coming into his own and it's it's a credit

0:04:35.000 --> 0:04:37.840
<v Speaker 1>to him his hard work and his process with our

0:04:37.880 --> 0:04:40.760
<v Speaker 1>special teams coaches, and that's just been fun to watch

0:04:40.839 --> 0:04:43.800
<v Speaker 1>and we expect the same and more of that from

0:04:43.880 --> 0:04:45.960
<v Speaker 1>Corey moving forward. All Right, coach, we appreciate that we're

0:04:45.960 --> 0:04:50.839
<v Speaker 1>going to continue this conversation later in the show. Game

0:04:50.880 --> 0:04:54.760
<v Speaker 1>preview is presented by Independent Health from your every day

0:04:54.800 --> 0:05:01.000
<v Speaker 1>to You're Unexpected. That's the Red Share treatment. Mattie glab

0:05:01.040 --> 0:05:04.120
<v Speaker 1>here this week's game preview. The Bills are back on

0:05:04.160 --> 0:05:06.200
<v Speaker 1>the road in Week eleven as they head in Miami

0:05:06.240 --> 0:05:08.520
<v Speaker 1>to face the two and seven Dolphins, who are one

0:05:08.560 --> 0:05:11.400
<v Speaker 1>and four at home this season. Buffalo is three and

0:05:11.520 --> 0:05:14.960
<v Speaker 1>one on the road so far for the Bills, now

0:05:15.120 --> 0:05:18.040
<v Speaker 1>six and three next Sunday to Bills play at Miami

0:05:18.120 --> 0:05:21.880
<v Speaker 1>one o'clock Hard Rock Stadium in Florida. The Dolphins are

0:05:21.920 --> 0:05:24.479
<v Speaker 1>on a two game win streak, as last week's win

0:05:24.600 --> 0:05:29.039
<v Speaker 1>against the Colts marked quarterback Ryan Fitzpatrick's tenth career fourth

0:05:29.080 --> 0:05:32.680
<v Speaker 1>quarter comeback win. Since Week five, the Dolphins have increased

0:05:32.680 --> 0:05:35.800
<v Speaker 1>their points per game average by more than ten points,

0:05:35.800 --> 0:05:37.919
<v Speaker 1>going from eight point four points per game in the

0:05:37.920 --> 0:05:40.960
<v Speaker 1>first five weeks of play to nineteen point two five

0:05:41.200 --> 0:05:43.760
<v Speaker 1>points per game from the last three weeks of play.

0:05:44.040 --> 0:05:47.039
<v Speaker 1>Fitzpatrick is completing sixty one point five percent of his

0:05:47.120 --> 0:05:49.719
<v Speaker 1>passes as the average is one hundred and seventy point

0:05:49.760 --> 0:05:52.560
<v Speaker 1>five yards per game, and has thrown eight touchdowns as

0:05:52.560 --> 0:05:56.160
<v Speaker 1>well as eight interceptions. One of his favorite targets is

0:05:56.200 --> 0:06:00.240
<v Speaker 1>receiver DeVante Parker, who is averaging fourteen point two yards

0:06:00.240 --> 0:06:02.880
<v Speaker 1>per catch and fifty two point one yards per game.

0:06:03.480 --> 0:06:07.080
<v Speaker 1>Against the Colts, in Week ten, Miami had three interceptions,

0:06:07.240 --> 0:06:10.080
<v Speaker 1>which matched their total from the first eight games of

0:06:10.120 --> 0:06:15.320
<v Speaker 1>the season. The stamp flickmass leftstock cottech now touchdown Buffalo

0:06:15.920 --> 0:06:19.679
<v Speaker 1>oh Fasley was wide opened and Josh Allen's three games

0:06:19.720 --> 0:06:23.040
<v Speaker 1>against Miami, the quarterback completed sixty percent of his passes

0:06:23.240 --> 0:06:26.440
<v Speaker 1>for six hundred and fifty seven yards and seven touchdowns,

0:06:26.480 --> 0:06:29.159
<v Speaker 1>along with two hundred and sixty two rushing yards and

0:06:29.240 --> 0:06:32.720
<v Speaker 1>two touchdowns on the ground. Wide receiver John Brown has

0:06:32.760 --> 0:06:35.200
<v Speaker 1>been a sparked for Buffalo's offense, as he is the

0:06:35.320 --> 0:06:38.279
<v Speaker 1>first Bill to ever have at least four receptions for

0:06:38.320 --> 0:06:41.760
<v Speaker 1>at least fifty yards in nine consecutive games. They're gonna

0:06:41.800 --> 0:06:44.120
<v Speaker 1>run chapter the right side, and he's not gonna get there.

0:06:44.160 --> 0:06:47.000
<v Speaker 1>He's stopped. He's chopped per lots about a half yard

0:06:47.080 --> 0:06:50.080
<v Speaker 1>lots out the play. The Bill's defense has remained top

0:06:50.160 --> 0:06:53.279
<v Speaker 1>three in the NFL since Week five, bring to third

0:06:53.320 --> 0:06:55.760
<v Speaker 1>and allowing an average of three hundred and four point

0:06:55.800 --> 0:06:59.080
<v Speaker 1>two yards per game and sixteen point seven points per game.

0:06:59.400 --> 0:07:03.040
<v Speaker 1>Since the Biginning of twenty seventeen, Buffalo's defense has allowed

0:07:03.120 --> 0:07:06.599
<v Speaker 1>forty three passing touchdowns, which is currently the fewest in

0:07:06.640 --> 0:07:10.119
<v Speaker 1>the NFL. This season, they have allowed only eighteen pass

0:07:10.160 --> 0:07:13.080
<v Speaker 1>completions of more than twenty guards, which is the third

0:07:13.160 --> 0:07:15.880
<v Speaker 1>kewest in the league. Buffalo has won four of the

0:07:15.960 --> 0:07:22.520
<v Speaker 1>last five matchups against Miami. Steve back to you. Thanks, Mattie,

0:07:22.520 --> 0:07:24.920
<v Speaker 1>appreciate it. We're back for some final thoughts from head

0:07:24.920 --> 0:07:28.160
<v Speaker 1>coach Sean McDermot coaching coming into the second plays second

0:07:28.240 --> 0:07:30.679
<v Speaker 1>challenge in Miami Dolphins. You faced him earlier in week seven,

0:07:30.880 --> 0:07:33.280
<v Speaker 1>and a lot has changed down in Miami with this club.

0:07:33.320 --> 0:07:35.680
<v Speaker 1>They've hard fought a couple of losses yours and then

0:07:35.720 --> 0:07:39.040
<v Speaker 1>the Pittsburgh Theaters, and now the Dolphins have put together

0:07:39.080 --> 0:07:41.200
<v Speaker 1>a two game winning streak and you gotta go face

0:07:41.240 --> 0:07:43.080
<v Speaker 1>them on the road. Oh, we do, and they'll be

0:07:43.120 --> 0:07:45.960
<v Speaker 1>a tough out. Credit to them the way they've played.

0:07:46.000 --> 0:07:48.960
<v Speaker 1>They play hard, they're well coached. They remind me a

0:07:49.040 --> 0:07:51.920
<v Speaker 1>lot of us our first season. I'll beat it, we

0:07:51.920 --> 0:07:54.120
<v Speaker 1>had a different record. It's gonna be a tough football

0:07:54.320 --> 0:07:56.520
<v Speaker 1>football game, and it's gonna be a physical football game.

0:07:56.560 --> 0:07:58.280
<v Speaker 1>We're gonna have to go down there ready to go

0:07:59.040 --> 0:08:02.280
<v Speaker 1>and bring our top game because in all three phases,

0:08:02.280 --> 0:08:04.480
<v Speaker 1>really because they're well balanced. They've got an offense and

0:08:04.520 --> 0:08:07.160
<v Speaker 1>a quarterback that's moved the ball, moved the team ever

0:08:07.200 --> 0:08:09.280
<v Speaker 1>since he's been named the starter. And their defense is

0:08:09.320 --> 0:08:11.440
<v Speaker 1>playing playing well, not giving up big plays and then

0:08:11.440 --> 0:08:15.040
<v Speaker 1>special teams wise, they've been doing some things gimmicks, gadgets

0:08:15.480 --> 0:08:18.480
<v Speaker 1>to create some plays and extra extra possessions offensively, Yeah,

0:08:18.480 --> 0:08:20.880
<v Speaker 1>you come. You can relate to Brian Flores his first

0:08:21.040 --> 0:08:22.920
<v Speaker 1>year as head coach just two years ago. It was

0:08:22.960 --> 0:08:24.880
<v Speaker 1>you kind of trying to gather things up and set

0:08:24.920 --> 0:08:28.240
<v Speaker 1>a culture. Can you see back in time two years ago?

0:08:28.320 --> 0:08:30.440
<v Speaker 1>You got to relate to what Brian Flores is going

0:08:30.440 --> 0:08:32.480
<v Speaker 1>in maybe a difficult year. It turned out pretty well

0:08:32.480 --> 0:08:34.760
<v Speaker 1>for you in your first year here, but you kind

0:08:34.760 --> 0:08:36.960
