‘2011 — Bills 34, Patriots 31 — An oasis in the drought that got the Bills on the cover of Sports Illustrated. Ryan Fitzpatrick passed for 369 yards with touchdowns to Stevie Johnson and Scott Chandler, Fred Jackson ran for 74 yards and TD and Drayton Florence had the go-ahead score on an interception return in the fourth quarter as Buffalo came back from down 21-0. Revered broadcaster Van Miller came out of retirement and broke press box etiquette to narrate the winning kick in one of only two Buffalo wins against Tom Brady in a game he played all the way to the end. The goal posts were lowered before any fans could get to them, but many lingered in the afterglow singing “Sweet Caroline.” Good times never felt so good.’

Bills roundtable: Who’s the biggest AFC threat? What’s working? What’s not? That and more
‘The Bills’ pass rush and coverage on third and fourth downs. Their third-down defense dropped to 24th in the NFL because they allowed the Ravens and Dolphins to convert 16 of 26 opportunities in Weeks 1 and 3. The pass rush allowed Lamar Jackson and Tua Tagovailoa to escape the pocket, which put stress on Buffalo’s secondary to cover talented receivers for too long. The Bills are 20th in pressure rate on third down, according to Next Gen Stats, and they’re 31st in rushing yards per play allowed (7.5).’

‘2017 — Bills 26, Broncos 16 — Tyrod Taylor threw two touchdown passes and Buffalo’s defense came up with two interceptions and a couple fourth-down stops on Denver’s final four possessions. Tre’Davious White got his first career interception, and Dion Dawkins made his first NFL start at right tackle in place of injured Cordy Glenn. The Bills benefitted from Von Miller getting penalized 15 yards for unsportsmanlike conduct when he pretended to help Taylor up off the turf before pulling his hand away.
