ORCHARD PARK Womens Rhett Ellison Jersey , N.Y. (AP) — Bills coach Sean McDermott pointed to an incompletion, of all things, as a sign of quarterback Josh Allen’s continuing development entering his second season.Rather than force a pass into coverage and risk a turnover with the Bills already in field-goal position, Allen earned McDermott’s praise for throwing the ball away on third-and-goal from the 3 halfway through the fourth quarter Sunday.An even bigger payoff came when Buffalo got the ball back after Giants defensive tackle Dexter Lawrence was flagged for unnecessary roughness against long-snapper Reid Ferguson during the field-goal attempt. One play later, Frank Gore scored from the 1 to seal a 28-14 win.“He’s understanding the game a little better within the game, and what he can and can’t do,” McDermott said Monday Sterling Shepard Jersey , a day after the Bills improved to 2-0. “I think that in and of itself is a step.”Or as offensive coordinator Brian Daboll put it: “An incompletion rarely loses you games.”It didn’t in this case for Allen, who is showing he’s capable of learning from past mistakes.Allen went 19 of 30 for 253 yards with a touchdown passing and another rushing in producing just his fifth turnover-free outing in 13 starts. And it came on the heels of Allen turning the ball over four times (two interceptions and two lost fumbles) in the first half of a 17-16 win over the New York Jets in the very same stadium.“He’s such a competitor that sometimes he doesn’t want the play to end,” Daboll said.“We’re still working on that because he is strong, he is competitive and you’d have to ask him this, but there’s probably a play that he doesn’t feel he can’t make with his athletic ability,” he added. “I think that’s an encouraging sign of him just playing the game the right way for us to help our team.”WHAT’S WORKINGA new-look offense’s ability to produce lengthy drives. All six of Buffalo’s touchdown drives this season have covered 74 or more yards.They included a seven-play, 98-yard drive capped by Isaiah McKenzie’s 14-yard touchdown reception to put Buffalo up 21-7 over the Giants. The drive matched Buffalo’s longest in 10 years http://www.giantslockerroom.com/authentic-darian-thompson-jersey , and the Bills actually gained 108 yards overcoming a holding penalty against center Mitch Morse.Last season, the Bills didn’t have six drives of 70-plus yards until their 10th game.WHAT NEEDS HELPInconsistencies in stopping the run. After limiting the Le’Veon Bell-led New York Jets to 68 yards rushing, Buffalo gave up 129 to the Saquon Barkley-led Giants. Barkley gained 55 yards on four carries on an opening drive he capped with a 27-yard TD run.STOCK UPBackup defensive tackle Harrison Phillips, who was credited with a half-sack and three tackles in 28 snaps, one short of starter Star Lotulelei.“He got a little bit more volume in his job and rushed the passer better than he’s rushed before,” McDermott said of Phillips.STOCK DOWNCornerback Tre’Davious White. He whiffed in driving to the line and attempting to stop Barkley on his 27-yard touchdown run. White was also beaten in coverage twice on the Giants’ 12-play, 76-yard drive that ended with T.J. Jones 4-yard touchdown catch to cut Buffalo’s lead to 21-14 with 12 minutes left.INJUREDRookie running back Devin Singletary is still being evaluated after hurting his left leg during a 4-yard run with under five minutes left. The backup to veteran Frank Gore had 57 yards rushing and scored his first career touchdown. Buffalo’s depth is already thin at the position Doug Kotar Jersey , with Gore, T.J. Yeldon and fullback Patrick DiMarco the only running backs on the roster. … McDermott would only say starting cornerback Taron Johnson (hamstring) and receiver/kickoff returner Andre Roberts (quadriceps) are progressing after both didn’t play Sunday. … McDermott is looking for tight end Tyler Kroft to build on a good week of practice before determining whether he can face Cincinnati, his former team, on Sunday. Signed in free agency, Kroft has been out since breaking his right foot in May.KEY NUMBER9 — Bills have scored nine touchdowns on their past nine drives entering the red zone going back to last season’s finale.NEXT STEPSThe Bills have a chance to open 3-0 for just the third time in 26 years in their home opener against the Bengals on Sunday. The Bengals were completely dominated in a 41-17 loss to the San Francisco 49ers. Buffalo is 1-1 in home openers under McDermott.Olivier Vernon carted off field with an ankle injury New York Giants starting outside linebacker and defensive end Olivier Vernon left practice today with an apparent ankle injury. The Vernon reportedly got his foot tangled while working through blocks in practice Sunday afternoon, and was carted off the field. Head coach Pat Shurmur spoke to the media after practice, and didn’t give much in the way of details Womens Curtis Riley Jersey , simply saying that he is being evaluated. Vernon was set to play a key role in the Giants’ defense as their primary edge rusher in both base and nickel defenses. He had taken to the role of outside linebacker well and had been on a tear throughout training camp and the preseason. That he didn’t seem to be in any real kind of pain is encouraging, but the severity of the injury is unknown as of this writing. Time could be against the Giants if Vernon has anything more than a mild injury. The regular season is a scant two weeks away, and the defense needs Vernon healthy. He has played through injury each of the last two years and it has visibly hampered him. Reserve DE/OLB Romeo Okwara replaced Vernon with the starters when he left the field.
