Maybe, if it means more pressure or a spy on Jackson and another body on Henry. I'd rather have the athletic Williams blitzing, spying, and tackling in the box that Hamlin playing his usual safety valve role. Jackson succeeds by running, helped hugely by the threat of Henry running. His extraordinary ability to run and keep plays alive until someone is wide open, much like Allen, masks his ordinary ability passing. (He throws a graceful ball to wide-open receivers, but how many Allen-like dimes do you see to covered receivers?) Playing deep and waiting for them to make mistakes won't work, because they won't throw; they'll run, all day long until the Bills can stop them.

Allen deserved a lot of credit for not forcing throws as he's done in the past. His receivers clearly weren't getting open early, and he threw it away or pulled it down and ran. He even took a few sacks. But he didn't throw it up for grabs. Given that he knows he can make some of those dangerous throws, his restraint is impressive--and very good for the Bills.

Sleeping on the fake punt from their 45 yard line wasn't so great.

Prevent defense rears its ugly head.

They should just keep running Nix. The Bills have no answers for him.

It's just baffling. It's like, "Enough three and outs, let's let them score a few, quickly. Sound good?"

RAC, baby! About time, after all these years.

Broncos defense is getting tired.

Turnover coming. It's the Buffalo signature.

Exactly. Brady needs to show some creativity near the goal line. Bootlegs, pitches, shovel passes, passes to the eligible tackle, whatever. Twice now, he's run on the first two downs and thrown it on the third. No wrinkles whatsoever. I thought he was keeping it vanilla against New England; now I wonder if he's got anything for the red zone.

They're doing ok. I'm more concerned about the red zone offense. Brady into a brick wall. And again. And again.

You notice that Nantz says "wide open!" on every receiver catch?

I'd like to see the stats after his defensive time outs. I suspect they're awful.

Damar on ANOTHER blitz! I mean, why not blitz a cheerleader instead?

I've seem do that on two other occasions. It's like he's on the other team's payroll. Worse than useless, because now he's not helping out downfield. Can yo win a Super Bowl with a safety of this caliber?

Yeah, he seems like just another smallish tight end catching the ball for six yards and immediately getting tackled. Would have been a decent sixth round pick, but what a waste (so far) of a first rounder.

I'm no expert, but it appears the Broncos are mimicking the Bills and letting them run all day, waiting for them to commit penalties and not execute. That last drive, they obliged.

They did, with that backup safety we drafted years ago.

Unless you play for KC.

In Romo's world, every player is outstanding.

Cook is such as asset. Got to bring him back.

Marv Levy had it right in insisting special teams was every bit as important as offense and defense.

Broncos playing to win.

Bo Nix looks like Allen.

Now it's just a matter of keeping the lead. Can the defense hold up its end?
