What we learned from Buffalo Bills’ Week 15 win vs. Detroit Lions

The Bills have struggled in the early parts of away games for much of this year, but in Week 15 they flipped the script. They started hot and stayed hot.

Buffalo opened the game with a quick 14-0 lead. They forced punts on each of the Lions’ first two possessions, and they scored a touchdown with each of their first two possessions. Both drives were finished off with Allen’s legs.

On the road against whom many considered to be the best team in football, the Bills never trailed.

The Bills offense is playing its best football in the Allen era. They have now scored 40+ points in back to back weeks, and they have scored at least 30 in eight straight games.

Allen has 10 touchdowns over the last two weeks. And, over the last three weeks, the offense has zero turnovers and zero sacks allowed.

The Lions had no answer for the Bills offense. Buffalo scored on eight possessions. Detroit took to desperate measures as they attempted an onside kick early in the fourth quarter in hopes of keeping Allen and the Bills offense off the field. Safe to say that didn’t end well for them, as receiver Mack Hollins returned it deep into Lions territory and set up a one-play-drive touchdown.
