Score: BUF 24 OAK 26
Wow, we almost blew it there. I don't know if Janikowski decided to miss that field goal on purpose since already "won" or what, but that left the door open for the Bills' playoff hopes. Luckily, Carr was able to eat up time away with the drive early on this quarter on another long bomb to Andre Holmes, setting up Jamize Olawale for the TD. Great, clutch drive by Carr, great, clutch INT by Brandian Ross, and again, great, clutch onside recovery by Charles Woodson. He still can do it all in his 17th season. We put a damp on the Chiefs' playoff hopes, we played a big part in derailing the 49ers playoff hopes even more, and we eliminated the Bills from the playoffs. Stay tuned for the full recap.
Q3:
Score: BUF 10 OAK 19
We want touchdowns, not field goals! More missed opportunities to put a lot of points on the board is leaving some window of opportunity for the Bills and it's evident the way they're driving right now on offense. However, that doesn't negate how stalwart the defense has played this quarter until the current Bills' drive.
Q2:
Score: BUF 10 OAK 13
This is why protecting a bigger lead is important. Didn't like the way how the defense decided to play it safe and set up a field goal to cut the deficit to 3. Anyway, competitive game so far. Onto the halftime report.
Q1:
Score: BUF 7 OAK 0
Epic deep ball from Derek Carr to Kenbrell Thompkins to set up the Raiders in red zone at the end of the quarter. Before that play, there was more bad than good in that quarter. D.J. Hayden got burned big time by Sammy Watkins for the Bills' lone TD and the offense wasn't getting anything going, but other than that, the Carr to Thompkins deep ball woke everybody up and the defense has done a good job holding its own since that Bills TD. C-Wood got that 60th INT, adding more to his resume as a future HOF candidate.
