The Bills might have staggered severely in a Week 11 victory misfortune to the Colts, however they got back to shape quite promptly for the finale of the NFL's Thanksgiving Day record. With the Saints playing host on Thursday night and frantic to remain alive in the NFC special case race after three straight misfortunes, Buffalo rather captured everyone's attention behind enormous exhibitions from its marquee stars. Josh Allen got done with four scores, Stefon Diggs flaunted his All-Pro course running, and the Bills' safeguard experienced no difficulty restraining New Orleans' physical issue perplexed arrangement beginning to end on the way to a going great 31-6 triumph to improve to 7-4.
Here are a few focus points from the Bills' impressive Thanksgiving triumph:
Why the Bills won
They realize how to play offense. Josh Allen found himself mixed up with inconvenience a couple of times in the primary half, driving some short passes and getting picked twice accordingly, however in any case, he threw it with both power and exactness, taking all that the Saints gave him and, hence, taking care of Stefon Diggs and Dawson Knox in essential spots. The ground game was forgettable by and by, however Allen assisted a great deal, and actually they never truly required a hurrying assault to remain ahead. Protectively, they were similarly as great. Tre'Davious White's initial exit with a knee injury doesn't look good past Week 12, however Ed Oliver and Co. winning down and dirty never permitted the profundity tried Saints to set up energy, delivering their run game nonexistent and driving Sean Payton to depend on things like phony dropkicks to create development.
Play of the game
Kwon Alexander merits a huge load of recognition for the manner in which he spread out to block Allen in the main half, however Stefon Diggs' footwork on his scoring get against Marshon Lattimore? Wonderful. Who on earth could protect this?
What's next
The Bills (7-4) are decisively back in the blend for the AFC East on account of their success, and they'll get a genuine opportunity to demonstrate that again in Week 13, when they're set to have the opponent Patriots (7-4) on "Monday Night Football" after a long break. The Saints (5-6), in the interim, are tumbling in the NFC special case picture because of their fourth consecutive misfortune. They'll confront one more tall undertaking in precisely seven days, when they're set to have the NFC East-driving Cowboys (7-4), who tumbled to the Raiders before on Thanksgiving.
Live updates
The Saints, tonight, are averaging a whopping 2.5 yards per play. Trevor Siemian is 8-of-17 for 85 yards. That is the story of the night. It's not like their defense isn't giving them opportunities; yes, Josh Allen has three touchdowns, but they've also registered two picks and kept the Bills' weapons mostly in front of them.
This is what happens when you don't have an offense to respond and/or capitalize with points: the Bills coughed up the ball twice in the first half to give the Saints obvious chances to get back in this game, and yet here we are with Buffalo up 24-0 after Josh Allen's latest connections with Stefon Diggs and Dawson Knox. If New Orleans doesn't turn to Taysom Hill after this game, I'm not sure they ever will.
