Stefon Diggs gave an incredibly raw and powerful response to question about Dawson Knox scoring the game winning TD and the obstacles he's had to overcome the last few months #BillsMafia /7GHPQS2Bqh It’s impossible to know the grief and struggle that Knox is enduring as he continues to suit up for the Bills, but it’s not lost on his teammates. In addition to the physical hurdles that Knox has had to overcome on the field, battling through multiple injuries and even leaving Sunday’s contest after a big hit, the biggest obstacle for Knox has been off the field as he continues to recover from the death of his younger brother this offseason. Knox finished with three catches for 37 yards and the game-winning touchdown, but his presence on this list is about more than that. The veteran was a thorn in the side of the Chiefs all afternoon and was a clear catalyst in the Buffalo win. The Bills love to rotate their linemen to keep everybody fresh, but in a game as big as this, they knew they couldn’t keep Miller off of the field and it paid off. On the day, Miller had two sacks but also played 78% of the snaps, which is almost double his usual rate. It forced a back-foot pass that Taron Johnson was able to step in front of for the game-sealing interception. Von Miller collapsed the pocket on Mahomes, forcing him to roll out into pressure from Matt Milano. After Allen led a go-ahead drive, Patrick Mahomes got the ball with 1:04 left, and many fans were thinking, “It’s too much time.” But unlike the playoff loss, the Bills now had Von Miller on defense, and he was tasked with doing one thing: as Stefon Diggs put it, “finish it.”įinish it he did. This is what Buffalo paid Von Miller for. Stretches like that make it seem as though Allen is a player who is impossible to keep down. He didn’t throw any incompletions until the 4th quarter. Starting with the final drive before the end of the first half, Allen went on a stretch where he completed 13 straight passes and led two straight touchdown drives. He was double-clutching and seemed frazzled. The Chiefs were sending pressure with extra rushers, and it was getting to Allen early in the first half. However, what’s even more impressive is the way that he adapts in the middle of the game. He continues to put this offense on his back, even hurdling defenders to pick up extra yards and a first down. He joins Drew Brees as the only players in NFL history with 300+ passing yards, 3+ TD, 0 INT in 3 straight games against a single opponent, per Field Yates October 17, 2022 Josh Allen's last 3 game against the Chiefs: But how can you not? He continues to show up in big games and has delivered against the Chiefs time and time again. What a surprise, starting with Josh Allen again. It’s certainly a battle to watch as the season goes on. McKenzie played 37 snaps to Shakir’s 15, and McKenzie saw five targets to Shakir’s two, but Shakir still finished with more yards with 14 on his one catch. According to Next Gen Stats, McKenzie ran 23 routes on Sunday to Shakir’s eight. Shakir has had very few chances so far, so we don’t want to immediately label him the better option, but he is working into a bigger role after being a healthy inactive the first few games of the year.
