Last Week
The Bills dropped a home game 31-13 to Philadelphia. The defense let up 218 yards and three touchdowns on the ground. Meanwhile the offense just couldn’t get themselves in gear all day gaining only 267 total yards. Despite throwing a pair of touchdown passes, Josh Allen was a poor 16-of-34 for 169 yards, was sacked four times, and fumbled three times, losing one.
Washington was defeated 19-9 by Minnesota. It was their seventh loss of the season. The only offensive player who had a decent game was Adrian Peterson who ran for 76 yards and caught two passes for 27 yards. While they only gave up 19 points, the Skins defense allowed 434 yards.
This Week
It’s a good week for the Buffalo Bills to bounce back as they face one of the NFL’s doormats. Washington has been horrid this year, challenging the Jets and Dolphins for the first overall draft pick this spring. If the Bills can’t win this one at home, something is seriously wrong. Josh Allen should pick apart the Skins secondary.
