The Bills can beat wild-card-tier opponents such as the Jets just by executing properly instead of trying to secure an MVP award for Allen or turning every Sunday into a 'statement.' Not every play needs to be a 40-yard dime or a strip-six, fellas. They are positioning themselves to lose opportunities for home playoff games and a first-round bye, and they are doing it with sloppy, Chiefs-style losses.
What it Means: The Bills are now 0-2 in the AFC East and 4-2 in the conference.
Throw in a missed field goal and some tough luck on bouncing-ball plays and you get the formula for a classic Bills upset. Zach Wilson handed off to Michael Carter and James Robinson scrambled avoided mistakes (mostly) and distributed short passes against a defense that kept blitzing straight into his protection. Josh Allen threw a pair of inexplicable interceptions as part of an over-aggressive game plan.
