‘Two areas where Buffalo needs to improve are the offensive line and the running game, which are also tied together. Johnson was sacked five times – though two were off blitzes that weren’t the line’s fault – and was hit on virtually every throw. And, on the ground, the Bills totaled a mere 89 yards (2.6 per carry) with feature back Antowain Smith held to an anemic 17 yards on a dozen attempts. "I was a little disappointed that we didn’t run the ball better," admitted Buffalo head coach Wade Phillips, "especially late in the game when we could have run out the clock." But while the line has to answer for the failings of the ground attack, the pressure on Johnson involves everyone. "I think it’s on all of us," said Riemersma. "You can point somewhat to the offensive line but by no means is it all their responsibility. "We have to take responsibility as an offensive unit – to get our hot reads, to get our blitz pickups – and make it one of our goals that Rob doesn’t get hit like that."’
