The Buffalo Bills are 3-1 through four weeks of the NFL season. We've learned that Josh Allen is very much elite and Sean McDermott is capable of calling plays at a high level on the defensive side of the football.

In the victory against the Miami Dolphins, Josh Allen made history, Stefon Diggs balled out and very clearly loves Buffalo, and the defense as a whole found an answer for the high-powered Miami Dolphins offense.

However, there's one Bills player we wanted to highlight specifically that has been quietly dominating every single game he's played a part in, and he hasn't been getting nearly the recognition he deserves: Tyler Bass.

(The above tweet was posted before the game was over, don't judge me.)

Yes, Bass did win the AFC Player of the Month Award for special teams, but even that felt a little quiet. Bass has been a crucial part of this team and has been quite literally perfect throughout this short NFL season.

Bass, in my opinion, was one of the very best draft decisions Brandon Beane has made. Just this season alone, Bass' numbers have been elite. The Buffalo Bills kicker is 9-9 from field goal range and 16 for 16 in terms of extra points.

This isn't out of the normal for him either as he has a career field goal percentage of 86.8% by going 92-106 from field goal range throughout his career. In fact, in Bass' first season as a Buffalo Bill, Bass was breaking records left and right.

In the playoff game against the Colts, Bass scored the longest FG in NFL playoff history by a rookie, but he wasn't done there. Bass had broken the legendary Scott Norwood's single-season extra point-made record and scored the most amount of points in a single season. Again, that was his rookie year.

Bass isn't slowing down, and while we fully understand he is going to miss some kicks or extra points, it doesn't matter. He's been a staple on this team and we just feel like he hasn't been highlighted enough throughout his career.
