Summary

Buffalo Bills keep Myles Garrett quiet and snag a win over the Cleveland Browns, but does the lack of wide receiver firepower put their playoff hopes in jeopardy? The league’s wild man coverage approach says more than stats ever could. Joe Marino gives his honest take on Buffalo’s 23-20 victory, calling out Josh Allen’s missed throws, costly drops from Brandin Cooks and Dawson Knox, and the offense’s obvious run-to-the-right strategy. James Cook and Spencer Brown earn praise for powering the ground game, while Matt Milano and Greg Rousseau shine on defense—despite a few weird drive-extending mistakes. Injury updates like Allen’s sore foot and Poyer’s hamstring crank up the nerves ahead of a tough schedule. Will the Bills break out of this predictable groove and fix their receiver problem before it really bites them? Catch Joe Marino’s full rundown, bold questions, and what to watch next as Buffalo gears up for the Eagles and beyond.
