Buffalo Bills Team Grade for Week 14

The first half of football was as disheartening as any stretch for the Buffalo Bills this year. It stirred up memories of the Indianapolis Colts game where this team seemingly couldn’t do anything right and was getting beat in almost every facet of the game.

However, that changed midway through the third quarter behind the play of Josh Allen. The Bills quarterback seemingly showed a desire that he didn’t want to quit and wasn’t going to let the players around him quit either.

That spark seemed to spread through the sideline as the offense started clicking and the defense played tough and was getting stops. There are no moral victories in the NFL but there is a lot of positives that this team should take from this game and hopefully can use it moving forward as they fight to remain in the playoffs.
