It just seems the Bills obviously did not learn their lesson in penalties either when it came to the Thursday night game. The Bills racked up a total of 11 penalties for a yardage total of 99-yards.

It’s crucial when you get a stop when you need one, but it hurts when you get a stop and there’s a flag on the field.
