‘2000 — Bills 27, Chargers 24 (OT) — The crowd was 72,351 for Buffalo’s wild comeback win against a winless Chargers opponent. Trailing 24-10 late in the third quarter, Rob Johnson threw a touchdown pass to Shawn Bryson, and led a 69-yard drive in the last two minutes of the fourth quarter (though a game-losing interception slipped through Junior Seau’s hands) setting Steve Christie’s tying field goal from short range. Johnson would then separate his shoulder on a Neil Smith hit early in OT, and after Henry Jones’ intercepted Jim Harbaugh, it was Doug Flutie putting the Bills (3-3) in position for Christie’s winning kick from 46 yards out. Eric Moulds caught 11 passes for 170 yards, Sammy Morris scored on a 32-yard run and lineman Jerry Ostrowski recovered a Jonathan Linton fumble for the only touchdown of his eight-year career.’

‘Just about anything that could go wrong, did go wrong for the Bills in a 24-14 loss that was more painful and ugly than that score would indicate.’
What's wrong with the Bills? Second-half comeback falls short in loss to Falcons
‘Sean McDermott tried everything. Bespectacled and holding a play-call sheet on the sideline, the Bills’ coach loaded the box. He blitzed. He used different personnel groups. His defense couldn’t stop Robinson or the Falcons’ top receiver, Drake London, in the first half.’
McDermott: Game was 'too hard' on Buffalo Bills QB Josh Allen
‘“It’s going to eat at me the next two weeks,” Allen said of the loss. “So, yeah, I mean, a lot of stuff to clean up. We’ll put our focus to our next opponent and go from there.”’

Report Card: Failing grades aplenty for Bills after dispiriting loss to Falcons
‘A week after McDermott said he felt the team was “too cute” at times against the Patriots, he must have been seething at both that play call and execution. Offensive coordinator Joe Brady is taking as much heat at the moment as he has since stepping into the role – for good reason. The offense looks broken.’
Erik Brady: Bob Penchion remembers first Bills-Falcons game ... especially one painful moment
‘But this low-wattage member of the Electric Company has a story to tell about that day in Atlanta. Penchion pancaked Falcons defensive end Claude Humphrey on one particular play − and Humphrey, the future Hall of Famer, got up off the turf and threw a punch. “He raised up,” Penchion said, “and punched me right between the legs.”‘

‘It was rather stunning to see the Bills get overwhelmed by a Falcons team that, while individually talented, certainly won’t have any reason to keep its schedule open for early February.’
Bills report card: Buffalo sputtering after being outplayed, outcoached by Falcons
‘This was as bad as Josh Allen and the pass offense has looked since the debacle in Houston last year when he completed just 9 of 30 passes. The Falcons overmatched Buffalo’s offensive line and finished with four sacks, six QB hits, and double-digit pressures. The key was their reliance on blitzing, which the Bills never figured out.’
Why Bills’ puzzling use of James Cook might be biggest problem after crushing loss
‘James Cook finished with 87 rushing yards, but it felt like he was on the sidelines a bunch in the second half. The Bills fall to 4-2 and out of first place in the AFC East. The New England Patriots now sit atop the division.’
