Commanders Coach Ron Rivera says records are meaningless when Washington is facing Buffalo.

All week, Washington Commanders players and coaches have expressed measured excitement about the 2-0 start because the next opponent presents a major challenge. The Buffalo Bills are 1-1, but Coach Ron Rivera insisted “records don't mean anything in this situation.”“This is one of the elite teams,” he said. “We’ve got to gear up. We’ve got to practice, prepare, get ourselves ready to go. [This game will] give us a great opportunity to see where we stand.

Buffalo relies on many of the same key figures as previous years — quarterback Josh Allen, wide receiver Stefon Diggs, linebacker Matt Milano, safety Micah Hyde — except Coach Sean McDermott is now the defensive play-caller following the departure of coordinator Leslie Frazier.Buffalo is one of the best teams in the league at fourth downs.

Next Gen Stats defines “on the run” as anytime a quarterback is moving 8 mph or faster. In Week 2, Allen was elite on the run, completing 7 of 8 passes for 73 yards and two scores. He has thrown 12 touchdowns on the run since 2022, three more than any other quarterback. In Week 1, Allen had one of his most impressive touchdown throws on the run. He was moving 17.33 mph and just 0.7 yards from the sideline when he unleashed a dot to Diggs for a five-yard score.Allen was traveling 17.33 mph when he let go of the ball, the fastest speed on a touchdown pass in the Next Gen Stats era .
