Well this was quite the defensive game. But Bills come out on top. Here are my three takeaways:
- The Vikings Defense had Brady and Josh in a daze. They were stuffing the run getting pressure on Allen on the pass and were a step ahead of the Bills until the the 2 minute drive at the end of 2nd quarter. Josh came alive and bam goes 80 yards for the touchdown to the practice squad TE. Then in the 2nd half Josh settled in and the offense started to have success which can happen when the defense gets tired.
- The Bills Defense was lights out! Vikings couldn’t run or pass. But I’m still not fooled Carson Wentz is GOD AWFUL!! It’s amazing to me how coaches are still trotting this guy out there. Wentz was missing throws all night long threw 2 INTs and Bernard dropped a gift of a third after Wentz was stepped on by his lineman. Kevin should’ve put in the 3rd string QB just to get a spark!
- James Cook with 30+ carries was amazing. While the run didn’t work at first I loved seeing Brady stick with it. The run helped wear down the defense and it showed in the 4th quarter. I got nostalgic watching Cook run as if I was watching late 90s football where teams grinded you down with the rushing game. Lastly the Bills punter really pissed me off with all these touch back punts while the Vikings punts was giving the Bills crappy field position the whole game!
Solid win by the Bills against an amazing defense but getting nothing on offense. Next up are the 2-7 jets! Hopefully not a letdown trap in division game.
Go go go Buffalo 💪
Bills 14-3
Josh barely irresponsible plays don't make you mad?
