Bills’ Josh Allen doesn’t waste time moments after thrilling Week 3 win vs. Dolphins with unforgettable message about the team
A huge win for the Buffalo Bills and an even bigger message from the reigning MVP in Josh Allen. What Buffalo has built is special.
The Buffalo Bills were victorious over the Miami Dolphins in a game that was far too close for the Bills Mafia’s liking. Tua Tagovailoa and the Dolphins offense opened the first half with a touchdown and ended with another, tying the game in Orchard Park.
Some late-game heroics from rookie Deone Walker getting after Tagovailoa to force the throw allowed Terrel Bernard to grab an interception, which ultimately decided the matchup.
Offensive coordinator Joe Brady deploys an ‘everybody eats’ approach, where the ball gets moved around through multiple receivers. Nine different players recorded a catch, and it was something Allen brought up immediately after the game.
Allen emphasized the team-first vision in an unforgettable message to his teammates.
“I think it makes playing the game of quarterback fun,” Allen said. “When guys know what they’re doing, they’re in the right spots, you can go through your progressions, it makes it fun. To see guys that bust their tail on special teams come in and make some big plays. Elijah Moore is new to this team, and catches a big first down. Tyrell Shavers right here, third down and one makes a big play for us. Khalil Shakir, obviously, is as steady as they come. I can go down and down and on and on, but we just got guys that love the game of football and play for each other.”
The team feels more like a brotherhood, and new acquisitions Josh Palmer and Joey Bosa have shared the same sentiment. It’s more like a family, which makes victories like these that much sweeter.
While the reigning MVP in Josh Allen didn’t throw for 400 yards, he didn’t need to, as they relied on spreading the wealth on offense and getting James Cook involved. Allen finished 22 of 28 with 213 yards and three touchdowns while adding four carries for 25 yards.
Josh Allen makes history in the victory
Allen needed two touchdowns to surpass Patrick Mahomes as the fastest player to have 300 offensive touchdowns in a career. The superstar quarterback did that in the first half, etching his name in the history books.
Allen has made it clear he would trade in every accolade for a Super Bowl trophy. With Buffalo undefeated and sky-high hopes of reaching that goal this season, Buffalo still has some work to do.
Nevertheless, a divisional win is huge this time of year, and the team will get back to the lab to try and correct some of the issues that allowed Miami to stay in the game.
