The Buffalo Bills dominated the San Francisco 49ers, 35-10, in their Week 13 “Sunday Night Football” clash.
The story entering the weekend was the weather. It ended with a decisive Bills victory.
It was the 49ers (5-7) who opened the scoring. San Francisco jumped to an early three-point lead on a Jake Moody field goal in the middle of the first quarter.
After that Niners score, it was all Buffalo (10-2). The Bills would end the first half with touchdowns on three consecutive drives.
Fourth-round rookie running back Ray Davis capped off a 13-play drive with a five-yard touchdown rush. On the ensuing drive, James Cook rushed for an electric 65-yard run. Finally, receiver Mack Hollins posted up in the corner of the end zone for the third touchdown for the Bills.
San Francisco missed two field goals in the half. Buffalo went into the half with a comfortable 21-3 lead.
The 49ers opening drive looked promising. Wideout Deebo Samuel returned the opening kickoff 60 yards. However, the Bills defense came up big, with safety Taylor Rapp forcing a Kyle Juszczyk fumble at the one-yard line.
The Bills then scored on one of the wildest plays that we’ve ever seen. Allen threw a short pass to Amari Cooper. Cooper, at the eight-yard line and surrounded by defenders, pitched the ball back to Allen. The QB sprinted toward the pylon for the score.
San Francisco responded with their best drive of the evening thus far. The 49ers had another short field after a great kickoff return by Samuel. Running back Issac Guerendo sealed the drive with a 15-yard touchdown rush.
Buffalo continued the avalanche against the 49ers. The Bills defense forced two more fumbles in the fourth quarter.
Sandwiched between the Niners series that ended with fumbles was another Buffalo touchdown. Allen rushed for eight yards to give the Bills a 25-point lead.
The remainder of the game was an exercise in futility for the 49ers. They turned the ball over, dropped passes, and missed tackles.
With just under eight minutes in the game, the Buffalo starters took a seat for the evening.
Buffalo would conclude with an emphatic victory on the national stage. Buffalo clinches the AFC East crown for the fifth consecutive year.
