Bills Wire’s Week 4 Player of the Game: CB Josh Norman

The Bills moved to 4-0 on the season, and due in part to some significant momentum-changing plays from Josh Norman.

Josh Norman played his first game with his team on Sunday, as the Buffalo Bills defeated the Las Vegas Raiders, 30-23. The Bills moved to 4-0 on the season, and due in part to some significant momentum-changing plays from Josh Norman.

The veteran cornerback arrived in Buffalo this offseason, in a low-risk, high-reward move from general manager Brandon Beane. Norman was activated off of the injured reserve list this week after dealing with a hamstring injury, and he proved to be worth the wait. While Buffalo played decent throughout the game, it was a turnover by Josh Norman that helped the Bills maintain their lead and slow the Raiders’ comeback attempt.

Las Vegas quarterback Derek Carr and the Raiders were starting to heat up, and on a pass to tight end Darren Waller, Norman made the pivotal tackle, created the fumble with a punch, and recovered it. It leaves much optimism for Norman’s future with the Bills this season, as the turnover seemed to be the spark that the Buffalo defense needed to come alive.

Congrats to Norman on his first win of the illustrious Bills Wire Player of the Week award.

PODCAST: After overcoming second-half woes, is Josh Allen an MVP?

Buffalo Bills podcast following Week 3, 2020 NFL season vs. Los Angeles Rams on quarterback Josh Allen.

The Buffalo Bills left us with another nail-biter finish this weekend, as they defeated the Los Angeles Rams 35-32 in Orchard Park. With a 28-3 deficit in hand for the Bills early in the third quarter, the Rams rallied back to challenge the Bills, scoring 29 unanswered points, but could not finish the game on top.

It certainly left many scratching their heads, as the phrase “28-3” is not one that is kindly used on the team with 28 points. The Bills, however, avoided that ugly stigma with another incredible, yet roller coaster ride of a fourth-quarter comeback. The Bills now have three wins in as many weeks, with a road trip to Las Vegas to play the Raiders next week.

There are certainly some questions about this Bills defense, and the scheme being used after they jumped to the massive lead that they did. How could a team that was ranked in the top-five last year allow such a comeback? It was certainly worrisome, as that put Bills quarterback Josh Allen and the offense in unnecessarily challenging predicaments the last several weeks,

Allen continues to earn a solid reputation amongst his fans and even his biggest critics. Allen has thrown for 300-plus yards in every game this year, and it isn’t too far-fetched to start mentioning Allen in the MVP discussion. It’s still early, and there’s lots of great football to be played, but he’s playing as great as any elite quarterback in the NFL right now.
