Brian Daboll becoming a star himself
Week after week to start the season, Bills offensive coordinator Brian Daboll is really putting quarterback Josh Allen to succeed over and over again. Allen is out there executing the plays and still deserves plenty of credit for his improvement thus far this year, but Daboll does as well.
In particular along the goal line, the Bills have actually struggled this season on offense. In Week 1, Zack Moss consistently got stuffed, and the same was happening with Allen. The QB did score on a scramble in the contest eventually, but it was a bumpy ride to get there. The two impressive plays Daboll schemed up for the Bills in this area were the two tight end touchdown catches. Dawson Knox (concussion) missed the game, but in his first two outings, he didn’t get very involved in the passing game, anyway. So what do the Bills do? Dial up not one but two plays which resulted in touchdowns to tight end. Lee Smith snuck out into an opening in the middle of the Rams defense, and later on, Tyler Kroft was wide, wide open in the right half of the end zone and strolled right in. Coming into the game, Knox only had three catches. No one saw those scores coming.
