The Buffalo Bills are right back on track thanks to a banner day from the defense.
are all on the schedule. But McDermott’s first two games as Buffalo’s play caller suggest this defense is going to be up to the task.
“You can feel the juice from him now,” Epenesa said. “It was always there but now that he’s hands on with the defense for real, it’s not so much so that you can feel it, but he shows it. He shows his intensity. He shows his juice. Not that he didn’t as a head coach, but now he feels a little more personable to all of the defense because he is directly connected. You can see the juice a little more. I love it. It gets me fired up seeing him in there.
McDermott carried that swagger into his fourth-down decisions. After starting last week’s loss to the Jets by kicking a field goal on fourth-and-2 to take a 3-0 lead, McDermott went for it on fourth down four times in this game. The Bills converted three of those chances. This was as complete a performance as the Bills could have asked for. Allen got back on track, the offense got contributions from receivers not named. Buffalo’s running backs had 178 yards and two touchdowns on 30 carries. The defense was nearly flawless after the first drive. Buffalo outgained Las Vegas 450-240 and had a 40:04 to 19:56 advantage in time of possession.
“I don’t know if you watch Ted Lasso, but we were just like goldfish,” offensive tackle Spencer Brown said. “We flushed it and didn’t even think about it. It was good to be back at home in front of everybody and in a rhythm. I didn’t even really think about Monday at all.”Subscribe to The Athletic for in-depth coverage of your favorite players, teams, leagues and clubs.
