Living with it, fans leaving the stadium, you got to play this game for 60 minutes. And this is really a good dress that we have played, and God is ready, we take care of how we want and how we would think about how we will do.”
According to the Ellius Sports Bureau, the bill became the first team in NFL history to remove the 15 -point shortage in the last four minutes of the fourth quarter to win the season opener. The team extended its 12-game home Win Streak and also won the turnover battle for the 23rd consecutive game, which was the longest streak in NFL history (including playoffs).

“I’m liked in a dream right now. It was incredible,” the defensive end Joy Bosa Said. “I don’t know if I am ever happy after a win. It is clearly, it’s just the first game of the year and we have given a lot of points, and I can be better in a lot of ways. But we won, and we gave our crime a chance.
“And I think when you have Josh Alan, you just have to give him a chance, and anything is possible.”
Alan completed 33 out of 46 passes for 394 yards and 2 touchdowns. He also ran 14 careers for 30 yards and 2 touchdowns.
He led the bills on the scoring drive during four of the five assets in the fourth quarter, including the nine-plays, 66-yard drives that ended the game. In the final 4:50, Alan completed his last seven passes for 118 yards, including the 10-yard touchdown pass to Coleman, which the bill got within 40–32.
“We start every exercise, at least two of the three practices that we get during the week, with two minutes [drills]”Bills coach Scene McDermot said.” And [Allen’s] Extremely comfortable in those situations. … When you practice it repeatedly, you try and hit many of those situations with different times, different times to keep our people in practice under some stress. They never like it. They get a little crazy on me. But this is for a good reason. So, I will take it. ,

Jackson said that Henry should not be damaged.
“I told [Henry]’Come on, man,’ is that [already] It was enough for us, “Jackson said.” Things happen. Unfortunately, this happened only at the wrong time. I am not going to knock on him for him. Shoot, I was trapped in the playoffs. Which is sleeping. “
For bills, they want to keep victory in perspective.
“Those who showed, showed big and I am grateful, but we got a lot to do a lot,” left tackle Don din dokins Said. “It’s not a super bowl, and we have got a conference game next week, so we are going to enjoy tonight, of course, and we’re going to keep it on bed.”
