‘The Buffalo Bills may have been blown out on Sunday, but there is a silver lining. The team may have found a No. 2 running back. Late in the game, a Bills fan decided to channel his inner Frank the Tank and go streaking through New Era Field. The streaker showed some elusiveness before being brought to the ground by security. Here’s a look at some of the best reactions to the streaker on Twitter.’

‘It starts up front [and] we’ve got to win at the line of scrimmage. That’s where this game is won, is up front. We’ve got to do a better job there.’

‘”I think when they first came out in that first drive it was more ‘man,'” Benjamin said. “They switched up the coverages and started playing a lot of ‘six’ a lot of ‘two.’ Just switching it up and rolling more to my side and stuff like that. We tried to come out fast and we did. It just slowed down for us.”‘

‘”Horrible game,” Taylor said afterward. “Our offense didn’t get anything going and that starts with me. Just an overall bad game. Something as a team we have to learn from. I definitely have to learn from this one. Just a bad game overall.”‘

‘At 5-4, the Bills are still in the Wild Card hunt in the AFC, but the team has a very difficult stretch of games coming up against the Chargers, Chiefs and Patriots. Realistically, Buffalo needs to find a way to win two of these games. It’s hard to envision based on their recent play on both sides of the ball.’

‘”It’s always good to get in,” Peterman said. “That’s my first action since the preseason. Reps are always helpful. To see a now finalized NFL defense, I think it was helpful.”‘

‘It turns out the Bills’ disastrous performance against the Jets was not an anomaly. The Bills got shredded by the Saints on the ground Sunday. New Orleans managed to get over 200 yards rushing before the end of the third quarter. Both Mark Ingram and Alvin Kamara gashed the Bills repeatedly. The Saints averaged more than seven yards per carry and had six rushing touchdowns, three of which were scored by Mark Ingram. Brees even managed to run for a touchdown. Not only did the Bills lose the battle up front, but they again missed too many tackles. The Saints would have been over 300 yards rushing if not for a few kneel downs.’

‘Tight end Khari Lee, guard John Miller, wide receiver Zay Jones and offensive tackles Cordy Glenn and Conor McDermott are all inactive as well.’
