How the Bills will make the most of 9 minutes of film ahead of rematch vs. Bengals

New York Times  

ORCHARD PARK, N.Y. — Through years together as decorated Buffalo Bills safeties, Micah Hyde and Jordan Poyer are known for speaking the same language, the defense’s ultra-efficient communicators. “I know it’s tough for our guys to watch because of Damar,” said Bills left guard Rodger Saffold, “but you have to take a detailed look at it. “They scored on the opening drive,” Hyde said, “so you obviously have to look back and see how they did that.” Taylor’s offense has put a slew of early scores on film. “We’ve been able to settle down as a defense and counterpunch.” But Buffalo’s defense has been forced to wait three weeks to strike back against Cincinnati’s opening salvo. We’ll go in and watch tape just like any other week and make sure we’re prepared.” Bills defensive tackle Tim Settle didn’t want to get into the specifics of what transpired three weeks ago.
