For four straight weeks, the Buffalo Bills saw an incredibly poor performance on offense, and that paved the way to four consecutive losses. Though, on Sunday in New Jersey, the offense at long last busted through for their biggest breakout game of 2018 in a 41-10 blowout of the New York Jets.
Up next, the Bills get a full week off before returning home to take on the Jacksonville Jaguars. Before that happens, first is an in-depth look at the individual performances from the Week Ten victory over the Jets, which improved the Bills' record to 3-7 on the 2018 season.
Each week, WKBW.com will review the film, and bring you how each player graded out in the previous week, with the help of the Game Pass app on NFL.com. You can see a full explanation of how the grades get calculated at the bottom of the article.

How the grades work:
Every Tuesday, when the All-22 film becomes available, we’ll go through and watch each play and every player on each play as many times as necessary, to assess a letter grade for that game to the player. It is a subjective analysis, and it’s important to note that we do not know the play calls and full responsibilities. With that written, the grades stem from technique, outstanding efforts, and presumed liability.
The study accounts only for players that take a snap on offense or defense, and players with under 15 snaps -- unless they have a significant impact on the game -- will not factor into weekly rankings.
Season-long grades have been tallied and documented, with an individual game’s grade weighted for how much the player was on the field in a given week. Those will be available starting in Week Two.
