Opinion: Bills take big step towards silencing doubters

‘This game marked the return of the dominant Bills offense from 2020. They moved the ball against New England’s defense all day. The Bills had eight drives, not including the kneel down at the end of the game, and they entered the red zone on seven of those eight drives. The offense produced 428 yards, four touchdowns, converted 50% on third down, had no turnovers, gave up no sacks and put up 33 points against what was the league’s number one scoring defense.’

Singletary’s second straight solid game adds to Bills offense

‘His final numbers don’t jump out on paper. He finished with 39 rushing yards and a touchdown, and had 39 receiving yards as well. While the numbers aren’t overwhelming, it’s the way he helped the rest of the team with solid runs and the fight he had on each carry that helped the rest of the offense.

Observations: Josh Allen loudly states his MVP case in leading Bills over Patriots

‘Allen was simply sublime from start to finish in throwing for 314 yards and three touchdowns without a turnover or getting sacked as the Bills moved back into first place in the AFC East. The rest of the season is simple – win out and the Bills repeat as division champions and host at least one playoff game at Highmark Stadium.’

‘He was unbelievable’: Bills WR Isaiah McKenzie stars when turn comes

‘And it was redemptive. McKenzie has had a tumultuous recent stretch. After fumbling a punt return against the Colts despite being untouched, McKenzie was benched for two games. Between the two games, Thanksgiving night against the Saints and Monday night against the Patriots, McKenzie posted a picture of himself on Instagram smiling and giving a thumbs up to the camera with the caption “This hurts.”’

Q&A: Bills QB Josh Allen channeled his inner Tom Brady (only better)

‘I’d call it Allen’s second or third finest performance, considering the quality of the opposition, the fact that his offensive line was in a state of flux and that he was missing two top receivers. That’s behind the Superman impersonation in the playoff victory against Indianapolis in January and maybe behind a 415-yard, four-TD, 44-point game against Seattle last season. But that was a mediocre Seahawks defense. Let’s call it No. 2 in the Josh Allen Experience catalog.’

Plays that shaped the game: Brian Daboll’s trust in Josh Allen pays off

‘Naked No. 17. Allen had run a quarterback sneak on third and 1 from the 27 for no gain. On fourth down, the Patriots made it their first priority to again stop the QB sneak by covering up the Bills’ center and guards with their three beefiest bodies, Carl Davis, Davon Godchaux and Lawrence Guy, leaving no gap open up the middle.’

Maiorana: Bills unwrap Isaiah McKenzie for the game of his life to sink Patriots

‘“A learning experience,” McKenzie said of that humbling two-game stretch. “That was my first time sitting down in awhile and I just had to take it even, think to myself, ‘What can I do better?’ And I’d just show up to practice every day and get my teammates better, and do whatever I’ve got to do to make myself better for my teammates.”’
