The Bills finally got back on top, seizing a 19-14 lead thanks to Josh Allen slinging his first touchdown pass of the night. It was a 7-yard connection to Keon Coleman that put them ahead, but honestly, you’ve gotta wonder how many points they’re just leaving on the field out there.
The Drive That Got ‘Em Back In It
That go-ahead score came after a gritty nine-play, 61-yard drive that had a whole lot of drama. Allen pulled off a 9-yard scramble on third-and-goal from the 13, but the Rams’ Jaylen Watson got hit with a defensive holding penalty, keeping the drive alive. Before that, Quentin Lake got flagged for a 21-yard defensive pass interference call while covering Coleman on a first-and-20. Every yard was a battle, and honestly, the Rams defense kinda helped them out with those flags.
The Kicking Calamity Continues
But even after Allen found Coleman for the score, the Bills just couldn’t make it clean. They tried to go for two points to extend the lead, but then Alec Anderson got tagged with a false start. So they backed up, decided to kick the extra point instead, and what happens? Tyler Bass shanks the 38-yard try. Just brutal. This isn’t a new problem either. They’re now 0-for-2 on 2-point conversions this season, and a shockingly bad 3-for-12 over the last three seasons. Oh, and earlier in the drive, James Cook’s fumble was initially given to the Rams before officials actually changed the call and gave the ball back to the Bills. Talk about a roller coaster. You just can’t be leaving points off the board like that in the NFL.
You gotta be thinking, when are the Bills gonna clean up these self-inflicted wounds? They had the drive, Allen got his touchdown, but leaving points on the field like that is just killer. They got the lead, but man, they’re making it way harder than it needs to be.
