Two Bills Drive

‘“I think so, we just got to do a good job of not riding the wave,” Allen said. “Trying to stay as level-headed as possible, not getting too high or too low. Starting off 4-0 and we’re the best team in the world, lose two in a row, we’re the worst team in the world, we don’t want to ride that, we just want to stay consistent, continue to work hard and go out and execute on game days.”’

‘”Keon knows [he messed up],” Dawkins said via Lance Lysowski. “Now he’s in the hot seat, and he needs to come on and show up for us. Pats on the back are over with, and it’s time for him to grow up and he knows it.”‘

‘But what are Allen’s thoughts on the franchise’s decision to sit Keon? “I don’t make those decisions,” Allen said. “Would’ve loved to have him out there, the way the rosters work, how it works sometimes.”’

‘Tyrell Shavers led the Bills in receptions and yards (four catches, 90 yards) and hauled in a 43-yard touchdown that proved to be pivotal in Buffalo’s win. Shavers was a guy many thought could make the 53-man roster in 2024, but just missed the cut and spent the year on the Bills’ practice squad. He appeared in three games, catching one pass that turned into a 69-yard touchdown. This season, he earned a roster spot, and had the best day of his career against the Buccaneers.’

‘A six-total-touchdown day for No. 17.’

‘Buffalo Bills star Josh Allen faced turnover questions in the first half of Sunday’s game against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, when he tossed two interceptions on the heels of a turnover-riddled Week 10 loss, but by the final whistle, he had only boosted his case for a second MVP award.’

‘Having already been disciplined this season, Coleman, who has been dealing with inconsistency and poor form, was a healthy scratch from the Buccaneers clash in Week 11, with ESPN’s Adam Schefter posting on X that Coleman missed a team meeting on Friday.’

‘Buffalo’s deep threat, Shavers, who caught one pass for 24 yards last week in Miami, saw his number called often against the Buccaneers, hauling in four of his five targets on the day.’

‘Allen threw only six interceptions on his way to his first MVP award in 2024, but he has already exceeded that mark in 2025 after a pair of first-half picks against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers on Sunday.’

‘Those three rushing touchdowns give Allen 75 for his career, which ties Cam Newton for the most rushing scores for a quarterback in NFL history. Considering that the previous record holder was Steve Young at 43 before Newton shattered it. Now, Allen is one score away from being the lone holder of the record, and legitimately could finish his career with 100 rushing touchdowns.’

‘The Bills announced during the fourth quarter that Hardman was out for the rest of the game with a calf injury.’

‘He had one of his wild, run-around-the-backfield-for-a-while-before-finding-a-receiver-open, insane touchdown passes to Tyrell Shavers in the back left corner of the end zone. He had a perfect recognition of a mismatch when he found James Cook matched up with a defensive end on a pass route and dropped a dime to his RB for a touchdown.’

‘He was in danger of being brought down for a safety. Instead of just cutting his losses, Allen did something ridiculous.’
