NFL London – Jacksonville Jaguars vs Buffalo Bills match report: Allen Hurns
Ryan arrived in London this week armed with similar bravado, declaring British fans should support his Bills because they wore the colours of the Union Jack, and it is that personality which Brown, an ex-New England Patriot who often faced Ryan’s Jets, believes helps players gravitate towards him.
Kevin Harlan and analyst Rich Gannon will be in the booth for CBS. The game will not be televised but instead will be NFL’s first free global live streaming event. The NFL Stream on Yahoo! dedicated micro-page has had a countdown clock since the NFL-Yahoo partnership was first announced in June. FOX is streaming 101 games this season on its FOX Sports Go app, though viewers can not access out-of-market content. “I had to dive for it but you’ve got to lay it on the line”.
Bortles and Bills quarterback EJ Manuel each struggled throughout. After a snoozer of a third quarter that saw three points, the fourth quarter was wild.
We’ll see if Yahoo reports how many people tuned into the game, which kicked off at 6:30 a.m PT – the company reportedly guaranteed advertisers a minimum of 3.5 million USA streams. This team was down 27-3 and was able to rally back.
And with the Jaguars building a fan base there now, if expansion to London happens, they could be first on the guest list. But this year, they have been missed at a decent rate. He had a burst on a few carries Sunday, but he finished with just 68 yards, plus 36 more on only two receptions. Carey later deleted his tweet.
Manuel added another interception on the Bills’ next drive, but the Jaguars showed mercy and didn’t score.
Worst Piece of History: When Manuel short-hopped a pass to an open Woods, Gannon noted that you “rarely” see something like that. At the start of the season, a majority of game analysis would favor the Bills for this Week 7 contest. “He has to come out and cut it loose”, said Gannon. Manual’s meltdown in the second quarter was epic by anyone’s definition.
A lot has been said about coaching for the Jaguars and I think it’s clear the coaching is a serious problem. They did everything text book flawless, taking time off the clock and driving down the field. QB Tyrod Taylor and top wideout Sammy Watkins are both dealing with injuries and although both made the trip overseas, neither will play at Wembley. “It’s frustrating and maddening at times, but if you know football, regrettably it’s the right thing to do”.
The Bills looked to have blown a huge chance when their running back LeSean McCoy fumbled inches from a touchdown score. On the second play of the Bills drive, Dwayne Gratz and Johathan Cyprien stopped on their coverage giving up a 58-yard TD to bring the Bills within three.
Best Tweet, Celebrity Division: Former ESPN personality Bill Simmons, who now works for HBO, tweeted: “Manuel has a pick-6, a fumble-6 and another pick, plus five ground balls and he’s still outplayed (Jacksonville’s) Blake Bortles”.
