<v Speaker 1>as always for being here. You clinch the AFC East

0:01:33.800 --> 0:01:36.320
<v Speaker 1>title with your winning Denver first division title in a

0:01:36.440 --> 0:01:39.400
<v Speaker 1>quarter century. What's it mean to you to be able

0:01:39.400 --> 0:01:42.840
<v Speaker 1>to bring the division to this franchise and this fan base. Yeah,

0:01:42.880 --> 0:01:45.120
<v Speaker 1>it means It's a ton, It really does, Steve. I mean,

0:01:45.160 --> 0:01:47.120
<v Speaker 1>when you look back at kind of the moments for

0:01:47.200 --> 0:01:50.200
<v Speaker 1>these four years and the way we've been building this thing,

0:01:50.280 --> 0:01:53.160
<v Speaker 1>and you know the special moments that we we've had,

0:01:53.240 --> 0:01:57.160
<v Speaker 1>now that one when we got back on Saturday nights

0:01:57.160 --> 0:01:59.680
<v Speaker 1>Sunday morning will forever be with me the rest of

0:01:59.720 --> 0:02:03.000
<v Speaker 1>my life. It's just incredible moment, incredible seat in the

0:02:03.040 --> 0:02:06.600
<v Speaker 1>locker room, just really cool moment for us, for our fans,

0:02:07.160 --> 0:02:09.880
<v Speaker 1>and for the community as a whole. Yeah, you know

0:02:09.919 --> 0:02:12.359
<v Speaker 1>you did. You had an incredible reception at the airport

0:02:12.400 --> 0:02:14.760
<v Speaker 1>when you landed back in Buffalo was late Saturday night

0:02:14.800 --> 0:02:17.200
<v Speaker 1>or actually early Sunday morning. And it's not the first

0:02:17.200 --> 0:02:19.000
<v Speaker 1>time you guys have had a crowd waiting for you

0:02:19.040 --> 0:02:21.959
<v Speaker 1>at the airport. Now, how does this moment compare to

0:02:22.520 --> 0:02:25.320
<v Speaker 1>the other streak that you've already broken, the out street

0:02:25.360 --> 0:02:27.800
<v Speaker 1>where you came back in twenty seventeen. Do you remember

0:02:27.800 --> 0:02:30.320
<v Speaker 1>back that far this was this looked like a way

0:02:30.360 --> 0:02:34.360
<v Speaker 1>bigger crowd. Yeah, it was, and I think I compare

0:02:34.400 --> 0:02:38.600
<v Speaker 1>everything to to that twenty seventeen playoff berth. Now that

0:02:38.720 --> 0:02:43.160
<v Speaker 1>was I think that was New Year's Eve Day, right,

0:02:43.200 --> 0:02:45.919
<v Speaker 1>But I think overall there was more more fans this time.

0:02:45.960 --> 0:02:48.799
<v Speaker 1>And we have new new players on our team and

0:02:49.080 --> 0:02:51.400
<v Speaker 1>new staff members as well this year that didn't really

0:02:51.440 --> 0:02:55.560
<v Speaker 1>know and haven't really experienced the Bills mafia, and so

0:02:55.720 --> 0:02:59.320
<v Speaker 1>to have them now experienced what I've experienced, now they

0:02:59.400 --> 0:03:02.880
<v Speaker 1>see why this is why this place is like it is. Yeah, well,

0:03:02.960 --> 0:03:04.880
<v Speaker 1>let's talk about this last game for a minute. Your

0:03:04.919 --> 0:03:07.679
<v Speaker 1>offense got off to a blazing start and he really

0:03:07.680 --> 0:03:10.600
<v Speaker 1>never slowed down. You guys wound up putting forty eight

0:03:10.639 --> 0:03:13.960
<v Speaker 1>points up on him. Josh put together another incredible performance.

0:03:14.000 --> 0:03:16.000
<v Speaker 1>He had three fifty nine yards through the air, two

0:03:16.200 --> 0:03:20.240
<v Speaker 1>passing touchdowns, a couple more running. He hit four thousand

0:03:20.320 --> 0:03:22.960
<v Speaker 1>yards on the seasons, the second most in team history.

0:03:23.639 --> 0:03:26.000
<v Speaker 1>What's it been like? How rewarding has it been for

0:03:26.040 --> 0:03:28.440
<v Speaker 1>you to watch Josh develop and really take the next

0:03:28.480 --> 0:03:31.040
<v Speaker 1>step this last season. It's been very rewarding just to

0:03:31.040 --> 0:03:33.160
<v Speaker 1>watch Josh, not only this year but the other years

0:03:33.160 --> 0:03:35.800
<v Speaker 1>and his development, and not just on the field but

0:03:35.840 --> 0:03:38.280
<v Speaker 1>off the field. He's so he's grown so much, and

0:03:38.360 --> 0:03:40.920
<v Speaker 1>not that he was in a position before where he

0:03:41.000 --> 0:03:43.800
<v Speaker 1>wasn't what he is now. He's just young and young

0:03:43.840 --> 0:03:45.920
<v Speaker 1>in the league, and there's just so much you don't

0:03:45.960 --> 0:03:48.360
<v Speaker 1>know as a rookie when you're throwing the quarterback position

0:03:48.360 --> 0:03:50.600
<v Speaker 1>on top of it and all that comes with it,

0:03:50.640 --> 0:03:53.360
<v Speaker 1>There's there's just so much you don't know. And he's

0:03:53.440 --> 0:03:56.320
<v Speaker 1>just grown so much, and very proud of him and

0:03:57.120 --> 0:03:59.000
<v Speaker 1>the work that he's been able to put in. Coach.

0:03:59.080 --> 0:04:01.280
<v Speaker 1>Here we are a week after Steph Diggs had a

0:04:01.360 --> 0:04:03.880
<v Speaker 1>huge game and he puts up another one against Denver.

0:04:04.080 --> 0:04:06.480
<v Speaker 1>Eleven catches for one hundred and forty seven yards. He

0:04:06.600 --> 0:04:09.200
<v Speaker 1>set the franchise record for most catches in the season.

0:04:09.440 --> 0:04:12.240
<v Speaker 1>He's fifty nine yards away from setting the franchise mark

0:04:12.320 --> 0:04:16.880
<v Speaker 1>for receiving yards. How much is his season a testament

0:04:16.920 --> 0:04:20.680
<v Speaker 1>to how far your offense has come since last year? Well,

0:04:20.680 --> 0:04:23.160
<v Speaker 1>we wanted to go out and be very intentional about

0:04:23.240 --> 0:04:26.320
<v Speaker 1>improving our offense this offseason with you know, roster moves

0:04:26.360 --> 0:04:29.560
<v Speaker 1>that that we made, that mostly that Brandon made, and

0:04:29.680 --> 0:04:31.720
<v Speaker 1>but he and I had great conversations about, hey, where

0:04:31.760 --> 0:04:33.160
<v Speaker 1>do we need to get better? How can we take

0:04:33.160 --> 0:04:35.599
<v Speaker 1>another step. And I think also then the continuity that

0:04:35.600 --> 0:04:38.200
<v Speaker 1>we had that we've had on the staff as well

0:04:38.240 --> 0:04:41.080
<v Speaker 1>as health, you know, and and and so I think

0:04:41.120 --> 0:04:43.680
<v Speaker 1>Brian Davil has done a really good job with that

0:04:43.800 --> 0:04:46.520
<v Speaker 1>and and uh, you know, I think it's the first

0:04:46.520 --> 0:04:49.479
<v Speaker 1>season we haven't had, you know, turnover on that side

0:04:49.480 --> 0:04:52.440
<v Speaker 1>of the ball for one reason or another, and we've

0:04:52.440 --> 0:04:57.080
<v Speaker 1>had that consistency. Um. So that's that's works well for us. Yeah. Well,

0:04:57.120 --> 0:04:59.880
<v Speaker 1>speaking of coming a long way, Jerry Hughes the longest

0:05:00.120 --> 0:05:02.520
<v Speaker 1>tenured Bill, He's been here since the beginning of your

0:05:02.560 --> 0:05:05.120
<v Speaker 1>time with the team. He comes out and in Denver

0:05:05.279 --> 0:05:07.400
<v Speaker 1>he has one of the great fumble returns I've ever

0:05:07.440 --> 0:05:10.360
<v Speaker 1>seen from a defensive line. How special is it for

0:05:10.400 --> 0:05:12.480
<v Speaker 1>you to share the success with guys like Jerry who

0:05:12.480 --> 0:05:14.839
<v Speaker 1>have worked through all the tough times to get to

0:05:14.880 --> 0:05:18.520
<v Speaker 1>this point. Yeah, I mean it just it was a

0:05:18.520 --> 0:05:21.919
<v Speaker 1>surreal moment. Once he scored it, it became surreal for

0:05:22.000 --> 0:05:24.720
<v Speaker 1>me to watch him, the longest tenured Bill to score,

0:05:24.920 --> 0:05:27.359
<v Speaker 1>you know, and just to score in the game. Before that,

0:05:27.440 --> 0:05:29.440
<v Speaker 1>Steve I would tell you that I was not very

0:05:29.480 --> 0:05:33.000
<v Speaker 1>happy with the way he was carrying the ball necessarily

0:05:33.480 --> 0:05:36.560
<v Speaker 1>on his way to the end zone. So, you know,

0:05:36.600 --> 0:05:38.440
<v Speaker 1>he and I were getting ready to have a conversation

0:05:38.520 --> 0:05:41.360
<v Speaker 1>about taking care of the football until he scored. Then

0:05:41.360 --> 0:05:43.039
<v Speaker 1>I had to let him off the hook, quite honestly.

0:05:43.200 --> 0:05:46.680
<v Speaker 1>So right, well, he's a former running back, so some

0:05:46.839 --> 0:05:49.760
<v Speaker 1>habits die hard, right, Yeah, Hey, I've heard those. I've

0:05:49.760 --> 0:05:51.800
<v Speaker 1>heard those that story too about him being a former

0:05:51.880 --> 0:05:56.200
<v Speaker 1>running back. Yeah, Coach, your four os since your bye week,

0:05:56.440 --> 0:05:59.560
<v Speaker 1>your defense has improved immenseally. You forced turnovers in the

0:05:59.600 --> 0:06:02.880
<v Speaker 1>last nine straight games. You've had multiple takeaways in four

0:06:02.920 --> 0:06:05.800
<v Speaker 1>out of the last six. Obviously you've gotten some guys

0:06:05.839 --> 0:06:09.039
<v Speaker 1>back from injury. But how has Leslie Fraser turned your

0:06:09.040 --> 0:06:11.760
<v Speaker 1>defense around in the second half of this season. Yeah,

0:06:11.800 --> 0:06:14.279
<v Speaker 1>you know, much like Brian Dave on the offensive side,

0:06:14.360 --> 0:06:17.120
<v Speaker 1>Leslie does a great job leading our defense. Really, he's

0:06:17.160 --> 0:06:19.760
<v Speaker 1>really been a steady hand for us in a consistent presence.

0:06:20.480 --> 0:06:23.880
<v Speaker 1>You know, he's got NFL experience and wisdom beyond his years,

0:06:23.880 --> 0:06:26.400
<v Speaker 1>just in terms of how he handles things, you know,

0:06:26.440 --> 0:06:28.880
<v Speaker 1>and our defensive staff as a whole, I think, combined

0:06:28.920 --> 0:06:31.520
<v Speaker 1>with Leslie, the very collaborative in terms of how they

0:06:31.520 --> 0:06:34.280
<v Speaker 1>approach each game plan and then the adjustments they make

0:06:34.360 --> 0:06:37.200
<v Speaker 1>during the during the game. So I think Leslie has

0:06:37.240 --> 0:06:39.840
<v Speaker 1>done a great job spearheading that movement of improving our

0:06:39.920 --> 0:06:42.720
<v Speaker 1>defense to where it is and the players and it's

0:06:42.720 --> 0:06:44.799
<v Speaker 1>been fun to watch. The players have taken a very

0:06:45.240 --> 0:06:48.880
<v Speaker 1>ownership approach to it as well as a very aggressive

0:06:48.880 --> 0:06:51.800
<v Speaker 1>approach to how we're playing. Well. Thanks coach. We're gonna

0:06:51.839 --> 0:06:53.240
<v Speaker 1>catch up with you later in the show to get

0:06:53.279 --> 0:06:55.919
<v Speaker 1>your final thoughts on your upcoming matchup with the Patriots

0:06:55.920 --> 0:07:01.000
<v Speaker 1>on Monday night. Football. Shopping Wood is presented by Saint

0:07:01.080 --> 0:07:06.080
<v Speaker 1>Bonaventure University, the official education provider of the Buffalo Bills.

0:07:09.080 --> 0:07:11.240
<v Speaker 1>Welcome back to the Sean McDermott Show, and it's now

0:07:11.280 --> 0:07:13.360
<v Speaker 1>time to break down the film with our good buddy

0:07:13.480 --> 0:07:16.600
<v Speaker 1>Eric Wood. In another edition of Chopping Wood eight, the

0:07:16.680 --> 0:07:19.160
<v Speaker 1>Bills hung forty eight points on the Broncos and they

0:07:19.160 --> 0:07:22.400
<v Speaker 1>scored six touchdowns. It was maybe the most complete game

0:07:22.440 --> 0:07:24.480
<v Speaker 1>they played all year on both sides of the ball.

0:07:24.720 --> 0:07:26.679
<v Speaker 1>What didn't you see from the Bills in their division

0:07:26.720 --> 0:07:31.160
<v Speaker 1>clinching win. Lately, the Bills have been playing complimentary football

0:07:31.280 --> 0:07:35.080
<v Speaker 1>offense and defense both playing dominant as of late, and

0:07:35.160 --> 0:07:37.080
<v Speaker 1>in this game, we saw the Bills scored in a

0:07:37.120 --> 0:07:41.640
<v Speaker 1>variety of ways Josh ran it in. They threw for touchdowns,

0:07:41.720 --> 0:07:44.640
<v Speaker 1>there was a singletary long run for a touchdown, and

0:07:44.760 --> 0:07:49.000
<v Speaker 1>for back to back weeks the Bills defense adds a score. Well, Eric,

0:07:49.080 --> 0:07:51.440
<v Speaker 1>let's look at all the touchdowns. We start by the

0:07:51.440 --> 0:07:53.600
<v Speaker 1>ones that we won't go into, the ones they didn't score,

0:07:53.640 --> 0:07:55.520
<v Speaker 1>they got called back. It seemed like there was thirty

0:07:55.520 --> 0:07:57.840
<v Speaker 1>eight touchdowns scored in this game by the Bills, but

0:07:57.960 --> 0:08:00.440
<v Speaker 1>six of them count. And we'll start with Josh Allen's

0:08:00.480 --> 0:08:04.280
<v Speaker 1>first passing touchdown to Dawson Knox. We've said it throughout

0:08:04.320 --> 0:08:07.760
<v Speaker 1>this season, but Josh Allen is so effective rolling to

0:08:07.880 --> 0:08:10.520
<v Speaker 1>his right and on this play early in the game,

0:08:10.720 --> 0:08:13.160
<v Speaker 1>they run play action actually a play action faked a

0:08:13.320 --> 0:08:17.400
<v Speaker 1>digs which draws a lot of the defender's eyes and

0:08:17.760 --> 0:08:20.480
<v Speaker 1>Dawson Knox stays alive in this play, is able to

0:08:20.480 --> 0:08:22.920
<v Speaker 1>get separation at the end, and Josh Allen throws a

0:08:23.000 --> 0:08:25.960
<v Speaker 1>great accurate ball in the red zone. And these windows

0:08:26.000 --> 0:08:28.520
<v Speaker 1>are tight and as you roll out, those windows change

0:08:28.560 --> 0:08:30.880
<v Speaker 1>for the defense and Josh does a great job of

0:08:30.960 --> 0:08:33.440
<v Speaker 1>finding Knox here. Yeah, and then on the next drive,

0:08:33.480 --> 0:08:36.240
<v Speaker 1>we saw Josh dowit once again with his legs twenty

0:08:36.280 --> 0:08:39.280
<v Speaker 1>four yards for rushing touchdown. What did you see, Heary?

0:08:39.360 --> 0:08:42.319
<v Speaker 1>This is a classic example of what Josh Allen can

0:08:42.360 --> 0:08:45.719
<v Speaker 1>do to dictate what defense is a defensive coordinator can

0:08:45.760 --> 0:08:49.000
<v Speaker 1>even dial up. They run man free here and as

0:08:49.040 --> 0:08:51.840
<v Speaker 1>Singletary gets out of the backfield, he actually gets two

0:08:51.880 --> 0:08:54.880
<v Speaker 1>blocks down the field. But as Josh Allen escapes a

0:08:54.880 --> 0:08:56.960
<v Speaker 1>line of scrimmage, there's a five man rush and they

0:08:57.040 --> 0:08:59.520
<v Speaker 1>run a twist up front, which blushes him out of

0:08:59.559 --> 0:09:02.240
<v Speaker 1>the pocket. But when he breaks a line of scrimmage,

0:09:02.280 --> 0:09:05.160
<v Speaker 1>if you're running man defense and there's no eyes on him,

0:09:05.240 --> 0:09:07.640
<v Speaker 1>he's going to make you pay. And he does it

0:09:07.679 --> 0:09:10.360
<v Speaker 1>here for a twenty four yard touchdown run. Yeah, he

0:09:10.400 --> 0:09:12.120
<v Speaker 1>got a chance to show it off with his legs,

0:09:12.160 --> 0:09:14.600
<v Speaker 1>but he also showed off his arm. Just before the half,

0:09:14.600 --> 0:09:17.920
<v Speaker 1>the Bill's got a new receiver involved, Jake Kumaro. Break

0:09:17.960 --> 0:09:21.240
<v Speaker 1>this down. They moved Jake Kumarro here, and the fact

0:09:21.280 --> 0:09:24.199
<v Speaker 1>that they have a linebacker lined up over him signals

0:09:24.200 --> 0:09:26.640
<v Speaker 1>of Josh that it's going to be zone defense. The

0:09:26.760 --> 0:09:28.960
<v Speaker 1>safeties are split in the middle of the field and

0:09:29.080 --> 0:09:33.079
<v Speaker 1>Josh throws an absolute rifle of a throw to Kumaro.

0:09:33.240 --> 0:09:35.920
<v Speaker 1>Hits him perfectly in stride to split the safeties for

0:09:36.040 --> 0:09:38.920
<v Speaker 1>Jake's first touchdown of the season. Yeah, we've been talking

0:09:38.960 --> 0:09:41.840
<v Speaker 1>also about the Bill's goal line offense all year. Here's

0:09:41.880 --> 0:09:45.640
<v Speaker 1>another look with two eligible offensive linemen. How about this

0:09:45.720 --> 0:09:50.120
<v Speaker 1>set for Brian day Ball. Tiansecki is an eligible receiver

0:09:50.200 --> 0:09:52.080
<v Speaker 1>on the back side of the play at the bottom

0:09:52.080 --> 0:09:54.719
<v Speaker 1>of the screen here and Ryan Bates was actually a

0:09:54.840 --> 0:09:57.560
<v Speaker 1>bunch formation to the right, and it looked like they

0:09:57.559 --> 0:09:59.560
<v Speaker 1>were trying to sneak Tie and Secki out on the

0:09:59.559 --> 0:10:02.240
<v Speaker 1>backside the play. The Broncos defense did a great job

0:10:02.240 --> 0:10:05.640
<v Speaker 1>of ving discipline and staying with him. But as Josh

0:10:05.920 --> 0:10:08.880
<v Speaker 1>decides that he can't throw it back to Tie and Secky,

0:10:09.120 --> 0:10:11.200
<v Speaker 1>he just does it with his legs, makes a defender

0:10:11.200 --> 0:10:13.640
<v Speaker 1>miss in the backfield and goes in for the touchdown.

0:10:14.000 --> 0:10:16.800
<v Speaker 1>And then right after the kickoff after that touchdown, the

0:10:16.920 --> 0:10:20.240
<v Speaker 1>defense adds to the scoring. This time Trey White forces

0:10:20.240 --> 0:10:23.040
<v Speaker 1>the fumble. Jerry Hughes has one of the great returns

0:10:23.080 --> 0:10:25.840
<v Speaker 1>I've ever seen. Eric brad this down, so at the

0:10:25.880 --> 0:10:27.880
<v Speaker 1>top of the screen you see a tight split by

0:10:27.920 --> 0:10:29.720
<v Speaker 1>of the receiver. We've seen this a couple of times

0:10:29.720 --> 0:10:33.280
<v Speaker 1>this year where Leslie Fraze will dial up Tredavious White

0:10:33.320 --> 0:10:36.760
<v Speaker 1>actually coming onto Blitz. It's very tough for an offense

0:10:36.800 --> 0:10:38.920
<v Speaker 1>who ever expect that one of the best cover corners

0:10:38.920 --> 0:10:40.959
<v Speaker 1>in the league's gonna come on the blitz. He gets

0:10:41.000 --> 0:10:44.400
<v Speaker 1>the sack fumble. Jerry Hughes, the former high school running back,

0:10:44.400 --> 0:10:47.040
<v Speaker 1>which he reminded me of after the game when I

0:10:47.080 --> 0:10:49.800
<v Speaker 1>sent him to the congratulatory text, makes one of the

0:10:49.840 --> 0:10:52.880
<v Speaker 1>best runs of the season for the Buffalo Bills. And

0:10:53.000 --> 0:10:56.600
<v Speaker 1>that's the Bill's defensive end. They're star pass rusher who's

0:10:56.720 --> 0:11:00.400
<v Speaker 1>always hustling, always making place for this defense. Makes an

0:11:00.400 --> 0:11:03.360
<v Speaker 1>incredible run back for the touchdown. In the fourth quarter,

0:11:03.440 --> 0:11:05.320
<v Speaker 1>the Bills are just trying to run out the clock.

0:11:05.640 --> 0:11:08.880
<v Speaker 1>Devin Singletary breaks one. What happened on this run. The

0:11:09.000 --> 0:11:11.719
<v Speaker 1>Bill's four minuted offense running the ball out at the

0:11:11.800 --> 0:11:14.920
<v Speaker 1>end of games has been really effective. Matt Barkley comes

0:11:14.920 --> 0:11:16.800
<v Speaker 1>in for one snap and on the first play of

0:11:16.840 --> 0:11:20.280
<v Speaker 1>the series, Devin Singletary runs outside zone to the left.

0:11:20.400 --> 0:11:22.280
<v Speaker 1>He's able to make one guy miss at the line

0:11:22.320 --> 0:11:25.160
<v Speaker 1>of scrimmers, then he's off to the races. Devin Singletary

0:11:25.240 --> 0:11:29.559
<v Speaker 1>doesn't necessarily have complete breakaway speed, but his ability that

0:11:29.679 --> 0:11:33.199
<v Speaker 1>makes defenders miss has been on display all season long,

0:11:33.400 --> 0:11:36.360
<v Speaker 1>and he takes this one into the touchdown to really

0:11:36.400 --> 0:11:39.440
<v Speaker 1>just hammer home the Broncos at the end of the game. Yeah,

0:11:39.440 --> 0:11:41.120
<v Speaker 1>it was great to see the Bills lock up the

0:11:41.160 --> 0:11:44.320
<v Speaker 1>division title with such a strong performance in Denver. Eric,

0:11:44.400 --> 0:11:47.080
<v Speaker 1>thanks so much for being with us. Appreciate it absolutely

0:11:47.160 --> 0:11:50.959
<v Speaker 1>my pleasure. Steve Mattie glab here with this week's game preview,

0:11:51.200 --> 0:11:53.840
<v Speaker 1>the afcast champs are heading the Fox Roads take on

0:11:53.880 --> 0:11:56.640
<v Speaker 1>the New England Patriots. Buffalo is one win away from

0:11:56.679 --> 0:11:59.760
<v Speaker 1>sweeping New England for the first time since nineteen ninety nine.

0:12:00.080 --> 0:12:01.920
<v Speaker 1>The six and eight Patriots are on a two game

0:12:01.960 --> 0:12:04.520
<v Speaker 1>losing streak, averaging just seven and a half points per

0:12:04.559 --> 0:12:07.280
<v Speaker 1>game over that span, while the eleven and three Buffalo

0:12:07.360 --> 0:12:10.520
<v Speaker 1>Bills have won the last four games. New England ranks

0:12:10.520 --> 0:12:13.600
<v Speaker 1>twenty seventh, averaging just over twenty points a game. They've

0:12:13.600 --> 0:12:16.160
<v Speaker 1>struggled in the air, averaging only one hundred and eighty

0:12:16.200 --> 0:12:18.600
<v Speaker 1>five passing yards a game, which is good for thirtieth,

0:12:18.679 --> 0:12:21.560
<v Speaker 1>but have found success on the ground, ranking sixth averaging

0:12:21.600 --> 0:12:24.360
<v Speaker 1>one hundred and forty five point four rushing yards per game.

0:12:24.480 --> 0:12:27.720
<v Speaker 1>The Patriots defense ranks eleventh, allowing three hundred and forty

0:12:27.720 --> 0:12:30.640
<v Speaker 1>five yards per game and only allows twenty one and

0:12:30.679 --> 0:12:33.360
<v Speaker 1>a half points per game. The Bills offense ranks fifth,

0:12:33.440 --> 0:12:36.720
<v Speaker 1>scoring twenty nine point one points per game, and second,

0:12:36.840 --> 0:12:39.600
<v Speaker 1>averaging two hundred and seventy eight passing yards a game.

0:12:39.880 --> 0:12:42.720
<v Speaker 1>They have the best third down conversion rate in the NFL,

0:12:43.040 --> 0:12:46.559
<v Speaker 1>converting fifty point nine percent of the time. Josh Allen

0:12:46.640 --> 0:12:49.360
<v Speaker 1>is the first Bill in franchise history to have more

0:12:49.360 --> 0:12:52.880
<v Speaker 1>than four thousand passing yards and at least thirty passing

0:12:52.920 --> 0:12:56.400
<v Speaker 1>touchdowns in a single season. The Bills defense has turned

0:12:56.400 --> 0:12:59.240
<v Speaker 1>a corner since they're week eleven. By Since Week twelve,

0:12:59.360 --> 0:13:02.680
<v Speaker 1>they tiper bit, allowing only eighteen point eight points per

0:13:02.679 --> 0:13:05.720
<v Speaker 1>game and have the third most interceptions during that time

0:13:05.720 --> 0:13:08.720
<v Speaker 1>with five. They have also been allowing only eighty seven

0:13:08.760 --> 0:13:11.480
<v Speaker 1>point three rushing yards per game, which is the second

0:13:11.600 --> 0:13:14.439
<v Speaker 1>least in the league over that span. The Patriots lead

0:13:14.480 --> 0:13:17.920
<v Speaker 1>the series against the Bills seventy six forty four and one.

0:13:18.240 --> 0:13:22.360
<v Speaker 1>That's this week's game preview. Steve back to you. Thanks

0:13:22.400 --> 0:13:25.680
<v Speaker 1>as always, Mattie, coach, You've clinched a division title. And

0:13:25.720 --> 0:13:28.120
<v Speaker 1>a home playoff game. But you still have two games

0:13:28.160 --> 0:13:31.120
<v Speaker 1>left in the regular season. How important are these next

0:13:31.120 --> 0:13:35.760
<v Speaker 1>two games? Well, they're very important. You know, we're facing

0:13:35.760 --> 0:13:39.319
<v Speaker 1>a team that has won the division for multiple multiple

0:13:39.400 --> 0:13:43.240
<v Speaker 1>years and it's at their place, and then after that

0:13:43.400 --> 0:13:46.120
<v Speaker 1>it's another good opponent that's playing very well this year

0:13:46.120 --> 0:13:47.840
<v Speaker 1>in the Miami Dolphins. So we'll take them one at

0:13:47.840 --> 0:13:50.439
<v Speaker 1>a time, respect both teams and make sure we're focused

0:13:50.440 --> 0:13:53.680
<v Speaker 1>on ourselves and improving what we do and continue with

0:13:53.760 --> 0:13:56.720
<v Speaker 1>that growth mindset. Yeah, coach, you've had a number of

0:13:56.760 --> 0:13:58.880
<v Speaker 1>firsts this year. What would it mean for you to

0:13:58.920 --> 0:14:02.600
<v Speaker 1>get your first win in Foxborough's head coach of the Bills. Yeah,

0:14:02.600 --> 0:14:05.000
<v Speaker 1>I would mean a tremendous amount to get number to

0:14:05.000 --> 0:14:07.360
<v Speaker 1>get number twelve. We just have so much respect for

0:14:07.400 --> 0:14:09.800
<v Speaker 1>those guys and what they've been able to accomplish for

0:14:09.840 --> 0:14:12.319
<v Speaker 1>so long. But it's going to take a lot of

0:14:12.320 --> 0:14:14.640
<v Speaker 1>hard work this week and for us to play our

0:14:14.640 --> 0:14:17.960
<v Speaker 1>best football. We go up there over there Monday night.

0:14:18.880 --> 0:14:21.840
<v Speaker 1>Thanks coaching, good luck this week against New England Patriots.
