‘”I thought we played really well tonight, obviously only 24 points but our defense played fantastic ball where we didn’t feel like we have to press and make any mistakes. Obviously there’s a few plays that we’d like to have back. But again these are good wins, in division, away, it’s hard to win in this league so we’ll learn from this one and move on.”‘

4 Observations: Bills win third straight, beat New England to improve to 9-3
‘Neutralizing Judon: The Bills offensive line did a pretty good job of slowing down the NFL’s leader in sacks. The dynamic pass rusher came into the game with 13 sacks but was unable to get to Josh Allen. Their success against Judon is even more impressive when you consider the Bills were without starting left tackle Dion Dawkins. The Bills did a variety of things to slow Judon including double teams and chipping him with a back. He did draw one holding call but never made a splash, game-changing play.’
