Special Teams

One of the biggest critiques coming out of this game will be how many times the Buffalo Bills settled for field goals. While the Buffalo Bills coaching staff wouldn’t get a good grade for the field goal attempts, Tyler Bass showed he can play on a big stage.

The rookie kicker was coming off a game with two misses last week against the Ravens. This week, on the road in the AFC Championship Game he responded with four field goals, including two over 50 yards. However, he did miss an extra point early in the game that would have put the Bills up 10 in the first quarter.

As for Corey Bojorquez, he continued to play at a high level with three punts for an average of 49.8 yards per punt.

Grade: B+

Grade: C-
