start<\/a> the train,\u201d left tackle Dion Dawkins said. \u201cSo we were off the train and now we’re on the train and the train is moving forward.\u201d<\/p>\nDespite three field goals inside the Jets’ 30-yard line on the game’s first three drives, the 16 points the Bills scored in the first half were their second most since Week 4 (17 against the Buccaneers). Buffalo then came out of halftime and put together back-to-back touchdown drives, including Shakir’s score.<\/p>\n
All of this was led by Allen, who finished the game completing 20 of 32 passes for 275 yards, three passing touchdowns and one interception (a deep throw downfield late in the first half). . With the Jets turning the ball over four times, the Bills ended their six-game losing streak in the turnover battle.<\/p>\n
“I saw a little more [Allen’s] personality and the personality of our offense,” McDermott said. “And that has nothing to do with what happened before with Coach Dorsey. It’s just about getting back to some offensive energy and guys having fun, and I thought the offensive staff did a really good job of putting together a game plan that guys felt good about and could execute it , and basically I thought we did a good job with the line of scrimmage as well. \u00bb<\/p>\n
With Brady calling plays, the Bills involved a variety of players, from second-year running back James Cook tying his season high of 17 carries (73 rushing yards plus three receptions with a receiving touchdown) to running back Ty Johnson catching a 28-yard touchdown. Rookie tight end Dalton Kincaid continues to be a key cog in the offense and now has five straight games with five or more receptions (six receptions for 46 yards), one of four Bills to do so since 1970.<\/p>\n
In the slot, the Bills have had success with Shakir, with all three of his receptions coming when he lined up in the slot. He has 288 receiving yards over his last four games after totaling 236 receiving yards in his first 21 career games combined.<\/p>\n
The offensive performance came despite Stefon Diggs catching four passes on eight targets for 27 yards and wide receiver Gabe Davis finishing without a target despite playing the most snaps of any receiver (87.3 % of offensive plays).<\/p>\n
\u201cI thought I didn\u2019t try to force anything,\u201d Allen said. \u201cTrusting the guys around me to make plays and that\u2019s what we did tonight.\u201d<\/p>\n
The task for Brady and the Bills offense moving forward is to keep mistakes to a minimum and energy and confidence high.<\/p>\n
The Bills tend to win in spectacular fashion and have been aided by strong defensive performances despite various injuries. They are the 166th team to have a margin of more than 100 points through 11 games in a season, but their six wins are tied for the fewest of these teams (1967 Chiefs).<\/p>\n
The win over the Jets was the Bills’ fourth this season by 25 or more points, tied for the most in a season in franchise history (1992, 2021).<\/p>\n
Building on that energy will be key as they face the toughest remaining force on the schedule, according to ESPN Analytics, and a number of higher-scoring offenses.<\/p>\n
\u201cJosh has always been the guy that gets us going, that says something first, whether it’s him or Diggs or somebody else, but I mean, tonight it was non-stop,\u201d said Shakir. “It was fun. It was fun operating the way we were playing tonight and 17 was the big boss of it all, so enjoy it.”<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
