Mario Williams points out issues with Bills defense
Early on, the Bills’ defense couldn’t contain Reed at the tight end possession. In the grand scheme of things, Washington isn’t elite by any stretch, but in this division he may just have this team poised to be the best. It was another punt for the Bills. First off, Jordan Reed and DeSean Jackson are both back and producing like they were always expected to.
“No matter if you was in the right or if you was in the wrong, our team stuck together”, Baker said. “We’re just excited about the opportunity and it can’t get any better than going back to Philly”. The score as 0-21 at the half. But in the team’s past eight games, they’re now 5-3. He filled in for injured Karlos Williams the last few weeks and had a 19-yard touchdown run last week in Philadelphia. The final score doesn’t adequately reflect how inept and uninspired Rex Ryan’s squad was during the first half of this fiasco.
Back came the Redskins on the next drive much to the Bills chagrin.
Washington would have a two-game lead with one week to play in this case, meaning the Eagles would be eliminated regardless of what happens elsewhere.
With the help of some talented pass catchers, Washington Redskins quarterback Kirk Cousins seems to be evolving from a game manager to a game changer. They may have not always found success running the football, the fact that they refused to shy away from that aspect of the playbook kept Buffalo’s defense honest. Later, Pereira explained the Bills caught a break when it was too tough on replay to see whether Bills tight end Nick O’Leary ran out of bounds 25 yards before he was eventually stopped downfield.
Trailing 28-3 after Jackson’s 77-yard catch and run for a touchdown early in the third quarter, Buffalo scored two quick touchdowns. ESPN’s Adam Schefter reported that McCoy has a torn MCL and is considered week-to-week, calling into question what benefit the Bills would maintain by not shutting down McCoy in a year without the playoffs. As the Bills offense was coming alive, the Bills defense committed enough penalties and had enough poor coverage to allow the Redskins to march down the field, again.
Cousins then sat behind Griffin for the first three years of his career, only playing when games were out of reach or Griffin was hurt – and even then, there were times where Redskins head coach Jay Gruden opted to go with Colt McCoy under center rather than Cousins. I don’t think there’s any doubt about that”, said Ryan, who later added: “We have two games to prove that we belong here. On Sunday, the Bills and Redskins battled in Washington with the same record, but going in opposite directions.
Moments after the Week 7 win, an emotional Cousins screamed, “You like that!” walking past reporters.
The Washington Redskins (6-7) will be looking to get their first winning streak of the year while maintaining a share of the division lead with a win against the Buffalo Bills (6-7) at FedEx Field.
