Episode 3 - Bills overcome second half woes to hold off the Rams
Sep 28, 2020, 03:00 PM
The Buffalo Bills left us with another nail biter finish this week, as they defeated the Los Angeles Rams 35 - 32 in Orchard Park. After a 28 - 3 deficit early in the third quarter, the Rams rallied back to challenge the Bills, scoring 29 unanswered points, but could not finish the game on top.
It certainly left many scratching their heads, as the phrase "28 - 3" is not one that is kindly used on the team with 28 points. The Bills however, avoided that ugly stigma with another incredible, yet roller coaster ride of a fourth quarter comeback. The Bills now have three wins in as many weeks, with a road trip to Las Vegas to play the Raiders next week.
There are certainly some questions about this Bills defense, and the scheme being used after they jumped to the massive lead that they did. How could a team that was ranked in the top five last year, allow such a comeback? It is certainly worrisome, as this has put Josh Allen and the offense in unnecessarily challenging predicaments the last several weeks. The defense has to get back to last year's form, or there could be many near - heart attack finishes like this.
Allen continues to earn a solid reputation amongst his fans and even his biggest critics. Allen has thrown for 300+ yards in every game this year, and it isn't too far - fetched to start mentioning Allen in the MVP discussion yet. It's still early, and there's lots of great football yet, but he's playing as great as any elite quarterback in the NFL right now!
