5 – It is a Victory Friday, as we celebrate the 2nd Bills win of the week today as the Bills beat their arch-rival Miami Dolphins on Thursday night football 31-10. After the win, Josh Allen improved to 7-0 on Thursday Night Football, but it was not all good news. The Bills lost one of their captains and starting linebacker Terrel Benard to a chest injury. Benard suffered a pectoral injury in the 1st quarter and never returned to the game. We will not have to wait and see if he will miss any upcoming games. The Bills are off until September 23rd when they host Jacksonville at Highmark Stadium on Monday Night Football.
