Wide receiver Stefon Diggs demonstrated his prowess in his home state of Maryland, amassing eight receptions for 111 yards during the game. This achievement also solidified his name among the illustrious group of just six active players who have crossed the 9,000 receiving yards mark.
James Cook showcased his exceptional skills with a total of 98 rushing yards, which included an impressive 34-yard run that paved the way for the Bills’ final touchdown of the game. Additionally, he contributed 14 receiving yards from two receptions. Latavius Murray, the running back, continued his remarkable performance by scoring a touchdown for the second consecutive week.
The first touchdown for the Bills was skillfully executed by wide receiver Gabe Davis. Davis, who has now achieved touchdowns in two consecutive games, managed to shine once again. The play leading to the touchdown involved a 23-yard punt return by Deonte Harty, followed by an offensive holding penalty called against Washington. In just one play, Josh Allen connected with Davis on a remarkable 35-yard pass to secure Buffalo’s longest touchdown of the season.
Washington had a potential opportunity to score a touchdown in the subsequent drive, but Buffalo’s defense stood strong and forced a turnover on downs at their own 2-yard line. The Buffalo defense ended the game with an astounding nine sacks, 15 quarterback hits, and 10 tackles for loss. As a result, Washington’s quarterback, Howell, struggled to achieve a passer rating above 41.5.
Kicker Tyler Bass played a significant role in Buffalo’s 37-point victory, contributing 13 points to the team’s overall score. Bass continued his remarkable streak by successfully converting field goals from 54, 36, and 32 yards, while also making all three extra point attempts. His 54-yard field goal came after an impressive 15-play, 62-yard drive that consumed 9 minutes and 47 seconds off the clock, making it the longest drive of the season for Buffalo.
Looking ahead, the Bills are set to host the Miami Dolphins at Highmark Stadium next week, with kickoff scheduled for 1 p.m.
