Bills Did What Was Necessary to Take Down Bucs, but They’re Not Fully Back Yet
‘Buffalo hasn’t struggled to run the ball this year, ranking 12th in the league with 4.2 yards per carry. However, the lack of Allen’s legs threatening the defense has hurt the overall attack, with Buffalo failing to score more than seven points in each of its three games prior to the victory over Tampa Bay.’
Bills vs. Buccaneers final score, results: Buffalo gets back on track as Josh Allen scores three TDs in win over Tampa
‘It was a game in which the Bills’ receiving depth — long a concern for Sean McDermott’s side — flourished. Kincaid, Stefon Diggs, Gabe Davis and Khalil Shakir all led their mark on Tampa’s weary defense, picking up 65, 70, 87 and 92 yards, respectively. Allen had a field day, finding success as gaps opened up across the line of scrimmage and secondary. The Buccaneers were missing star defensive tackle Vita Vea. They struggled to cope in his absence.’
Taking a closer look at Bills’ recent troubling trends on offence
‘In the Bills’ past three matchups, Allen has recorded his slowest release times: In Week 7, which saw the Patriots throw pressure after pressure his way, Allen averaged 3.26 seconds between the snap and his throw, which was the slowest in the league last week. Weeks 5 and 6 also saw him post release times over three seconds. In a game of inches and milliseconds, this pace is a far cry from his usual, which hovers around 2.87 seconds on average.’

Allen: 'Mentality-wise, we were in a good spot'
‘”Everything that we want is still in front of us,” said Allen during his postgame comments on Thursday. “You wish you were 8-0 at this point, you wish you were 7-1, you wish you were 6-2. The reality is that we’re 5-3, but we are going to continue to take it one game at a time, and we’ve got Sunday night next week against a really good [Cincinnati] Bengals team. We’ve got to be ready for them.”‘
