“I trust Josh Allen with the ball in his hands, and I do it over again,” head coach Sean McDermott said.<\/p>\n
Instead of a dramatic game-winning play, Josh Allen’s pass sailed wide of Khalil Shakir in the back of the end zone on the two-point conversion, sealing the Bills’ fate.<\/p>\n
“I just missed rolling left. Got to get a better ball,” Allen lamented.<\/p>\n
Buffalo’s missed extra point and subsequent missed two-point conversion the following drive encapsulated what was an evening of execution struggles for the Bills in pivotal situations.<\/p>\n
The Bills defense forced a three-and-out to begin Sunday’s contest game, the team’s fifth opening drive stop without allowing a first down this season. The offense moved the ball into Philly territory but Allen was sacked on third-and-five for a loss of 10, bringing out the punt unit.<\/p>\n
On the following offensive series, Allen was once again under duress in Eagles territory, this time fumbling after scrambling, back-tracking and trying to get a pass off. The play was ruled a fumble on the field and upheld by replay.<\/p>\n
“I didn’t have a better replay of what was going on, but it did not look like there was a grab of the ball, and then the ball comes out a split second later. It just looked like his hand came down, the ball flew out at the same time, and it was ruled a fumble,” McDermott said.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"“I trust Josh Allen with the ball in his hands, and I do it over again,” head coach…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":72520,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[8],"tags":[69,71,70,28234],"class_list":["post-72519","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-philadelphia","tag-philadelphia","tag-philadelphia-headlines","tag-philadelphia-news","tag-top-3-things-we-learned"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/72519","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=72519"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/72519\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/72520"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=72519"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=72519"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=72519"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
