Josh Allen

While Josh Allen led the team on a would-be game-winning drive, for the most part, Allen didn’t have a great performance. He completed 65.3 percent of his passes for 284 yards and two touchdowns, but he threw two interceptions. It’s these interceptions where we have a problem.

Allen really cost his team. His two interceptions came when Buffalo was trailing by just one score, and the Bills could have swung the momentum in their favor. After his unreal performance against Seattle, this performance feels like a massive let down.

Tre’Davious White

It was bound to get mentioned eventually, so let’s get it out of the way, White got cooked by Hopkins. In total, Hopkins had seven catches for 127 yards and the game-winning touchdown. While there were three Bills defenders involved in the game-winning touchdown, White was still getting outmatched before that catch.

White is an All-Pro cornerback, so he needs to lockdown All-Pro wide receivers, and he simply didn’t do that. The final play was a bitter pill to swallow, but White should have known to try to break up the pass, not go for the interception.

A rookie mistake.

Zach Moss/ Devin Singletary

These two have made appearances on this list plenty of times this season, and against Arizona, they haven’t helped their case. The two featured backs were completely ineffective against a weakened Cardinals defense. The two ran the ball 11 times for a total of 35 yards.

The blow of their poor rushing output could have been softened if they contributed in the passing game, but they failed at that as well. They both had one catch, and both went for negative yards.

Right now, the Bills offense doesn’t have any balance.

Dawson Knox
Mr. Irrelevant finds himself again, at the bottom of this article. Generally, the name Mr. Irrelevant is given to the player who is the last pick in the NFL Draft, but Dawson Knox has earned this title due to how poor he’s played on the field. Knox had just two catches for 16 yards, and a costly penalty that negated a sensational catch and run from Devin Singletary.
