Buffalo Bills look to leave opening loss in rearview mirror, focus on Las Vegas Raiders
Unnerving as the Bills sloppy, turnover-filled season-opening performance appeared, safety Micah Hyde provided an assurance that the sky is actually not falling in Buffalo.
“It’s Week 1. The world is not ending,” tight end Dawson Knox said. “We’ve got a bright future ahead of us.” Las Vegas was hardly perfect in its season-opening 17-16 win at Denver in persevering through its first taste of adversity to be the only AFC West team entering Week 2 with a win in quarterback Jimmy Garoppolo’s debut with the Raiders.
“With the roller coaster of a season we had last year, I think it was important for everybody to start off on the right fit, getting a win whatever that meant and however it needed to look,” receiver Davante Adams said. “Anywhere I could sneak in with what I’m wearing right here, I’ll be there,” Adams said, before turning his attention to the remote surroundings. “But I love it. It’s beautiful. It’s very green.”
“It was obviously an unfortunate play for us, but to see someone with that much effort is awesome to see,” Hyde said. “That’s the stuff you can win with.”
