The Buffalo Bills are a juggernaut.
Their latest victim this season was the Jacksonville Jaguars. In the team’s Monday Night Football matchup, Buffalo exorcised demons by destroying a Jaguars team that had beaten them in their past two matchups. On Monday night, the Bills scored touchdowns on their first five drives on their way to a 47-10 drubbing of the Jaguars.
Following their latest win, Pro Football Focus (PFF) graded out the play of the Bills. Here is what you need to know.
Javon Solomon makes most of reps, posts elite grade
Buffalo’s rookie pass-rusher made his NFL debut on Monday night after dealing with an oblique injury that kept him inactive the first two weeks of the season. In his first action of his career, Solomon played 14 total snaps including 10 pass rush snaps. One of his pass-rush snaps resulted in his first career sack and a forced fumble.

In addition to his overall grade, Williams graded out well in run defense (70.8), tackling (83.3), coverage (84.4) and run defense (68.3). Williams finished the game with a team-leading 11 tackles in the win.
Top 5 offensive grades
- Josh Allen (83.1)
- Dalton Kincaid (78.6)
- Khalil Shakir (77.3)
- Ray Davis (76.4)
- Alec Anderson (75.7)
After throwing for four touchdowns in the first half, it was no surprise to see Josh Allen atop Buffalo’s offensive grades. Allen was nearly flawless in the win and helped the team put away the Jaguars by halftime.
Although none of the starting offensive linemen made…
