‘The Bills needed a bounce-back performance after a mediocre showing in Week 16 against New England, and they certainly got that. “A lot of good things. I thought the defense came out and played aggressive, took the ball away, set up the offense,” head coach Sean McDermott said. “Special teams – good, sound quality football overall. The offense got rolling in the second half there, and that was good to see.” The win allows McDermott the freedom to rest his key starters in Week 18, with the second seed in the AFC playoffs secured. That’s a big deal. One minor complaint: The clock management at the end of the first half could have been better. The Bills ran an Allen keeper to convert third-and-1 with a 2-yard gain, but it took 23 seconds for the next play to start. The team ended up taking one timeout into halftime. A timeout after Allen converted the first down would have saved enough time that the approach late in the quarter might have allowed for more aggressiveness.’
