Which Washington Commanders news stories are hitting the headlines as the attention slowly starts turning to Week 3 against the Buffalo Bills?
After basking in the glory of such a remarkable comeback victory at the Denver Broncos in Week 2, it's been hard to keep everyone's feet on the ground. But that's exactly what head coach Ron Rivera has to do heading into yet another measuring stick game against the Buffalo Bills at FedEx Field this weekend.
Until then, the stories causing conversation include Eric Bieniemy getting praise from one of his former players, delight surrounding Chase Young, more to come from Brian Robinson Jr., and where the Commanders stand in ESPN's power rankings after Week 2.
Let's delve into each topic in more detail.
Commanders' OC Eric Bieniemy lauded
It seems as if all the hard work and tough love from Eric Bieniemy throughout the summer is starting to bear fruit. The play-caller put on a masterclass to snatch victory from the jaws of defeat at Mile High Stadium, which could be the missing piece of the puzzle given how well the Washington Commanders' defense is currently performing.
Things seemed to click against a decent defense. Bieniemy put his players in the best possible positions to thrive, which drew praise on social media from wide receiver Tyreek Hill.

Bieniemy and Hill had an extremely profitable relationship during their time together at the Kansas City Chefs. Many wondered whether the respected offensive mind could attain similar success without Andy Reid, but he's well on track to prove people wrong.
