The Buffalo Bills punted on their first possession of Sunday night's game. It was odd. They'd punted just 11 times in their first six games.
We're to the point in which it's surprising to see the Bills fail on any drive. Their five possessions after that punt? Three touchdowns, then two field goals. The Bills did whatever they wanted in a 27-17 win over the Green Bay Packers. They let running back Devin Singletary run wild for a while. Then Josh Allen started tossing it around to Stefon Diggs for some fun. The Bills defense had Aaron Rodgers sitting at 74 yards on 15 attempts a few minutes into the fourth quarter.
The Bills need to keep pushing because they want the No. 1 seed in the AFC, which eluded them last season. However, it seems like the rest of the regular season is just a warmup for the postseason. As anyone in Buffalo would tell you, only one thing matters this season for a dominant Bills team.
The offense is what draws your attention. When it's all working, it's pretty to watch. Allen can beat you running it or passing it. On his first touchdown, he drew the defense in when he rolled to his left, then flipped it to tight end Dawson Knox for the score. They can run it OK, just because defenses have to focus their resources on slowing down Allen. Stefon Diggs is perhaps the best receiver in football. He had a 100-yard game and a touchdown.
Allen threw another interception near the goal line in the fourth quarter. In a closer game, that would be a big problem. But the Bills might not play too many close games this season.The Packers have arguably the most talented quarterback ever in Rodgers. Yet, on fourth-and-one in the fourth quarter, they ran up the middle. Aaron Jones was stopped for a loss.
