A look back at the Buffalo Bills’ Week 8 win over the Oakland Raiders.
This Buffalo Bills team is for real.
And that was before they went out and traded for Kelvin Benjamin at the deadline.
With the Oakland Raiders coming to town off of their biggest win of the season and Buffalo out two starters in the secondary, combined with Charles Clay still sidelined, this past Sunday’s game was a contest a Bills team of the past probably would have lost.
Instead, the Bills won by 20 points and dominated throughout. The funny thing is, as Lorenzo Alexander pointed out, this team has room to grow too.
Needless to say, with a big contest Thursday night against the New York Jets, the Bills have set themselves up to where the playoffs could be a very real possibility, in a season where many thought the team was rebuilding.
Just keep trusting the process.
