McDermott: ‘Not the performance we were looking for’
‘”That’s not the performance we were looking for. I thought we beat ourselves, as we turned the ball over three times,” said McDermott with the media after the game. “They get 10 points. We get one takeaway. Don’t get any points off it. Just not enough complimentary football. We didn’t seem like we were into a rhythm offensively enough, and when we did, we had penalties, self-inflicted wounds early on in the game. We’ve got to learn from this.”‘

The second-year QB drove the Bills 58 yards in the last two minutes of regulation to set up Steve Christie’s tying field goal with 15 seconds left, and Christie kicked the winner from 39 yards out on Buffalo’s second possession of overtime. Thurman Thomas had 190 yards from scrimmage (111 receiving), and The Bills sacked Jim Harbaugh six times, with Bryce Paul and Gabe Northern each getting two. Indianapolis came into the game unbeaten and nearly rallied to stay that way by scoring 13 points in the second half to take the lead with under nine minutes remaining.
