Despite their win, the Buffalo Bills were not all smiles and rainbows on Sunday. Even with putting up 44 points on offense, not everyone on offense was contributing. As for the defense, they still have up 32 points. Here are four Bills who massively disappointed in Week 11 against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.
4 Bills who had a forgetful performance in Week 11
1. Joey Bosa
Bosa was a non-factor in this one, and the Bills failed to generate much pressure on Baker Mayfield. Tampa Bay's offense put up 32 points, not a good sign for Buffalo, which has struggled all year to stop good quarterbacks.
Bosa finished the game with just one tackle and no sacks. Hardly a day to write home about for the veteran pass-rusher.
2. Khalil Shakir
Speaking of players who didn't play a factor in the game, what happened to Khalil Shakir? Shakir was supposed to be the Bills' top receiver in 2025, but he has been doing less and less as the season goes on. Shakir finished the day with one reception for -3 yards, not an impressive stat line.
This is on par with a troubling trend for Shakir. He's averaging just 45 yards-per-game, and still has not one for over 100 yards in a game in 2025.
3. Josh Palmer
In his return to action for the Bills, Palmer struggled to play a role in the offense. He caught just two passes for 17 yards. Once considered a promising offseason addition for Buffalo, Palmer has turned out to be nothing more than fourth-option at receiver through his first seven games with the Bills.
4. Dawson Knox
The Bills' backup tight end was going to have a chance to prove himself in Week 11 with Dalton Kincaid out of the lineup with an injury. Unfortunately, Knox did not set himself apart, aside from a single 23-yard reception.
Knox might be out of Buffalo soon, as he ages and Kincaid continues to set himself apart. It's sad for Knox, who has been in Buffalo his whole career, but his decline has been steeper than anyone could have predicted.
