‘”I thought the the entire offense and offensive staff did a lot of good things. Coming out and being able to run the football was important for us, credit to our offensive line. It’s everyone, tight ends, wide receivers blocking, and the running backs. I thought Joe did a good job changing some things up and Bobby as well. So great job by the staffs.”‘

‘”We’re just trying to find ways to win. And this is going to help us in the long run,” said Allen on Sunday following Buffalo’s win. “Still a lot of lot of things that we can learn from this game and take away offensively. I think we’ve got to. Too many plays left out there. To nitpick a game like that where you score 48 sounds kind of dumb, but still feel like we left some out there.”‘

‘As has been the case in almost every game this season, Allen was in complete command and control of the Bills offense. Like he did one week earlier against the Los Angeles Rams, Allen orchestrated scoring drive after scoring drive, and continually frustrated the opposing defense by making plays with his right arm and his legs.’

‘No doubt a lot was circumstantial due to the score, and a great majority of it came in the second half, but the Bills defense still gave up close to 500 yards passing!’

‘Long before the Super Bowl, though, teams like the Bills are doing all they can to improve their postseason seeds, to have the clearest possible path. The Bills won the AFC East weeks ago, and they still have a chance to secure home-field advantage throughout the AFC playoffs, but Buffalo would need to catch some breaks, and get some help elsewhere.’

‘The Bills were out-muscled up-front in L.A. They didn’t run the ball well enough and certainly didn’t control the line of scrimmage from the defensive side. That has to change Sunday against one of the more physical teams in the NFL.’

‘McDermott’s defenses have been so good and consistent over seven years, he deserves the benefit of the doubt to say it was just a bad day. However, the numbers say the Bills could have more problems ahead.’

‘The NFC North-leading Detroit Lions are 12-1. The last and only loss this season came way back in Week 2 when Baker Mayfield and the Tampa Bay Buccaneers left the “Motor City” with a 20-16 victory. The 16 points were/are a season-low, and that is the only game this season where the Lions were held under 20 points.’

‘On the positive side of injury news, wide receiver Keon Coleman (wrist) and tight end Dalton Kincaid (knee) were both full participants.’

‘The Bills struggled to get things going early and rallied in the second half but ultimately fell short by a score of 44-42.’

‘It was not a good day for the defense Sunday, the Bills gave up a season high 44 points along with only forcing one punt from the Rams offense and not getting a sack from quarterback Matthew Stafford.’

‘On Sunday, Josh Allen became the first NFL quarterback in 70 years to have as many as three touchdown passes and three rushing touchdowns in the same game. Yet, the Bills still lost.’

‘No NFL team should lose a game in which they score 42 points. But the Bills did. Sean McDermott and defensive coordinator Bobby Babich were out-coached on that side of the ball by Sean McVay and his staff. They had no answers for the Rams multiple formations and motion.’

‘The Rams have one of the best wide receiver duos in the league in Cooper Kupp and Puka Nacua. Both have totaled over 500 yards passing this season. Together, they are able to work all areas of the field and levels of the defense. The Bills will need to limit their production, and not let one of them have a big day, forcing others in the Los Angeles receiving game to beat them.’

‘The Bills have until Saturday at 4 p.m. ET to put Carter on the active roster in order for him to play on Sunday. If they do that, they’ll also have to make a corresponding roster move to make room on the 53-man active roster.’
