(WKBW) - For four straight weeks, the Buffalo Bills went through what has been the worst stretch of the season -- and one that will be tough to top. They lost four games in a row, rookie quarterback Josh Allen suffered a multi-week injury, and the offense reached all-world levels of futility in scoring only 34 points over the four-week stretch.
 
Well, at least for one Sunday, the Bills lifted themselves out of the abyss while scoring more points than those four games combined. With a convincing 41-10 victory over the New York Jets, the Bills improved their record to 3-7 on the season.
How did it all happen, and what does it mean moving forward? Seven observations from the Bills' "upset" victory over the Jets:
 
1) The Matt Barkley game
2) Is Peterman's time with the Bills over?
3) Zay Jones has his statement game
4) LeSean McCoy finally busts loose
5) The youth of the defense shows off
6) Give their offensive line their due
7) Kelvin Benjamin's best days look like they're behind him
 
Bills MVP: QB Matt Barkley
- You really couldn't give it to anyone else after doing what he did after only ten days on the job. Offensive coordinator Brian Daboll also deserves some praise for his creative attack all game.
 
Bills LVP: WR Kelvin Benjamin
- Terrelle Pryor was a close second, but Benjamin's zero-burger was the winner.
 
Up Next: The Bills (3-7) have a Week 11 bye, and then return home to take on the Jacksonville Jaguars on Sunday, November 25 at New Era Field.
