4 initial reactions for Buffalo Bills vs. Philadelphia Eagles in Week 12

Buffalo Bills need to clean up the penalties

One of the big storylines coming out of this game, and something the Buffalo Bills have to correct, is penalties. The Bills were called for 10 penalties in the first half alone and while they did a better job in the second half with only one penalty, it is still something that can't be overlooked.

The biggest culprit this week was the offensive line as they were called for a majority of those penalties. Being on the road, certainly played a factor with a few false starts but there were also a number of flags thrown for holding.

Some of these penalties would cost the Bills points, like on the opening drive where back-to-back false start penalties pushed them out of field goal range, and it made this game much closer than it should have been.
