‘The Bills, playing without injured LB Takeo Spikes (Achilles), lost DT Ron Edwards to a shoulder injury in the second half and played backups Tim Anderson and Justin Bannan the rest of the way. Their depth was exposed. On New Orleans’ lone TD drive after a Buffalo interception, the Saints ran five straight times to cover 18 yards, capped by Brooks’ QB draw from four yards out when a huge hole opened up. The nail in the coffin for Buffalo was allowing McAllister to rip off runs of 10, 15, 12 and 26 yards on consecutive plays beginning with 4:08 to play, sparking another drive that ended in a field goal and put the game away with 1:09 to play.’
