In their offensive outburst against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, the Buffalo Bills had plenty of stars to thank for their victory in Week 11. Here are four Bills who really shone in the win.
4 players who shined in Buffalo's Week 11 win
1. Josh Allen
This one is obvious. Josh Allen turned on Superman mode yesterday, doing things no other quarterback is capable of, and probably vaulting himself back into the MVP conversation in the process. Allen threw for three touchdowns and rushed for three touchdowns, becoming the first person in NFL history to accomplish that feat in multiple games.
He also threw for 317 yards and rushed for 40 yards on the ground, providing almost all of the offense for Buffalo. He did throw a pair of interceptions, but he overcame the turnovers and led Buffalo to a 44-point offensive outburst that ultimately led to victory.
2. James Cook
Cook did not do much on the ground, but he was effective in the passing game. He did lead Buffalo with 48 yards on 16 carries, but his average of three yards per attempt was nothing to write home about. What was exciting to write home about was Cook's 66 receiving yards on three catches, including a receiving touchdown.
Cook found ways to make himself useful even on a day when Tampa Bay's defense was throttling him on the ground.
3. Tyrell Shavers
Yesterday could easily be considered Tyrell Shavers' breakout game. He was incredible, catching four passes for 90 yards and a touchdown. His previous career-high in yards for a game was 69 yards, back in Week 17 against the Jets last year. The second-year receiver is slowly earning more trust with Josh Allen, and it showed on Sunday.
4. Ty Johnson
The Bills' backup running back also played a huge factor in the passing game. He caught 2 passes for 61 yards and a touchdown, making his presence known out of the backfield as a receiver. He only had one handoff, which he took for nine yards, but his touchdown catch solidified him as a standout player in Week 11.
