WR Cole Beasley
Not youthful (sorry, Cole), but receiver Cole Beasley took the reigns for the Bills’ wideout room. John Brown had a productive game with 39 yards on two catches with a touchdown, but Beasley surpassed him.
We’ve gotten the catches from Beasley. Even some scores. What didn’t come was both of those together. The Bills got exactly that against the Broncos. Beasley had six catches for 76 yards with his mentioned touchdown. Easier said than done, but Beasley will look to continue that momentum against the his former team, the Cowboys, on Thursday.
P Corey Borjorquez
Even the special teamers came to play against the Broncos. Specifically, the punter.
Corey Bojorquez was only asked to boot the ball four times, but all four landed in a good position for the Bills. Those four started the Broncos out at the 13, 18, 11 and 10 yard lines. Not the heaviest workload for a kicker in a game, but credit where it’s due. The sometimes shaky-lefty kicker was consistent against Denver.
Cody Ford & the offensive line
A big day for Von Miller against a rookie? Not so fast. The Bills only passed the ball 25 times in a league where 40-plus is the norm. And yes, Miller did have a sack in the outing. But it could’ve been much, much worse.
Ty Nsekhe was sidelined due to an ankle injury, and Ford, who’s had his far share of struggles, played the whole contest. Ford looked good and the offensive line didn’t really ever look terrible. Allen made one remarkable escape out of a broken play in the game, but stood tall in the pocket multiple times and the running back couldn’t have done their job without this whole unit. The Bills averaged 5.2 yards per carry as a team.
