Can the Bills put together a dominant performance?

The Buffalo Bills seemed to be the overwhelming favorite heading into their game against the Los Angeles Chargers on Saturday night. However, the game seemed to get away from them very quickly as they found themselves down 10-0 in the first half.

They would come back before a James Cook fumble put the Chargers in position to kick the go-ahead field goal late in the fourth quarter. Josh Allen and the offense responded with a drive of their own that ended in a field goal and eventually the win.

Over the years, the Buffalo Bills have seemed to play to the level of their opponent as they play good football against the top teams while struggling against teams like the Chargers, or even the Patriots. The Bills can't afford to make that mistake on Sunday and need to start fast against this team.

The Patriots may only have four wins on the season but one of those wins is over Buffalo from earlier in the season. They have also won two of the last three games against the Steelers and Broncos, two teams competing for playoff spots.

The Buffalo Bills should be looking for a statement game where they get out big early and don't give New England a chance to get back into it.
