Tyler Kroft coming out party?
Kudos to scheming and play-calling from Daboll, but we do have to give a shoutout to Tyler Kroft as well in this one. Notably, the game-winning score went to Kroft in this one. But Kroft also had an overall better outing than Knox has had at all this season.
Coming into Week 3, Knox only had three catches and added a tough fumble against the Dolphins. Not only did Kroft have two touchdowns, he had four total catches and emerged in this one as a serious red-zone target for the Bills.
After the Bills put Kroft into the game to replace Knox last week, he didn’t have any targets. This week it’s kudos to Daboll to put Kroft in the game plan. But again, Kroft had to deliver and he did. Plus, he also impressed as a blocker on a few Devin Singletary carries, another area where Knox has struggled at times.
There’s still going to be calls for Knox to get his job back once healthy, but do we have a bit of a controversy brewing here for the Bills? Last season Kroft was supposed to be the starter while Knox was going to be given time to develop. Injury to Kroft caused him to lose his job, but now because of injury could Kroft be getting it back?
