TE Charles Clay enjoyed his best game, in terms of receiving yardage, against the Vikings in 2014 when he had 114 while playing for the Miami Dolphins.

Josh Allen – Noteworthy
QB Josh Allen’s 245 passing yards last week were the second-most ever for a Bills’ QB making his first initial start, behind only the 292 yards Jim Kelly threw for in 1986.

Kelvin Benjamin – Noteworthy
WR Kelvin Benjamin. Through two games, the Bills’ No. 1 receiver, a title in name only, has three catches for 29 yards on only 10 targets.

DT Kyle Williams will be playing in his 170thh career game for Buffalo, tying him for 10th on the team’s all-time list with Kent Hull.
