‘With the Bills leading, 14-9, and just two seconds left on the clock at Buffalo’s 9-yard line, Tyrod Taylor heaved a pass to Darren Waller, and the refs opted to throw a flag on the play: Officials deemed that Buffalo linebacker Terrel Bernard interfered with Waller, pushing the ball to the 1-yard line and setting up an untimed down to decide the game.’

Allen: “It’s an ugly one, we’ll take it…”
‘”Just really wasn’t getting into a rhythm, pass and run game included. We need to find ways to get off to a faster start and I don’t think we have done that the past few games.

Capaccio: Arrow Up/Arrow Down: Giants at Bills
‘The Bills had a 5-point lead and the ball at the Giants 37 yard line with just 1:45 remaining. Because the Giants still had all three timeouts left, the Bills needed to gain one first down to seal it. They couldn’t do it. Then, Tyler Bass missed a 53-yard field goal that gave the Giants the ball at their own 43-yard line with 1:25 left. So only 20-seconds came off the clock. New York promptly merged 42 yards down the field in that time, aided by a pass interference penalty on the Bills on the second-to-last play.’

5 Observations: Bills beat Giants 14-9, improve to 4-2
‘Let’s start with the last play of the game. Was it a penalty? Probably. But credit to Taron Johnson for making sure Darren Waller didn’t come down with the pass. It was an un-timed down and the Bills needed to do anything to ensure the Giants didn’t convert. Even if a penalty was called, it would’ve only cost the Bills half a yard. I’m a bit surprised the Giants didn’t hand the ball to Saquon Barkley but they tried that in the first half and it cost them a touchdown.’

Carucci Take2: Bills’ tougher-than-expected win vs. Giants leaves lingering questions about offense
‘Nothing seemed in rhythm for the Bills’ offense, with blunders and general sloppiness everywhere. A week ago, the blame was largely placed on the Bills’ decision to arrive in London only two days ahead of their game against Jacksonville. They seemed to be suffering from jet lag and showed considerably less energy than the Jaguars, who had been in London for 12 days because of their game against Atlanta there the previous Sunday.’

2 the point: Quick thoughts on the Bills’ Week 6 victory against the Giants
‘The defense. In a game where the offense once again struggled to score points, the defense gave the Bills a chance to win when they were not so sharp. The Bills were outgained 317-297, but the two goal-line stands were massive, and they were vastly different. Both, however, went the Bills’ way, and so did the game.’
