Top 3 things we learned from Bills vs. Saints 

Following scoring drives of 79 and 66 yards on the first two drives of the game, the Bills offense was stuck in the mud on their four series. Buffalo turned it over then went punt, punt, end of half with four possessions totalling 13 yards.

“We weren’t doing ourselves any favors,” QB Josh Allen said. “Couple boneheaded penalties, bonehead mistakes — throwing a pick doesn’t help. Defense had our back though.”

On the third series of the game with a 14-7 lead, Allen tried to squeeze a deep shot down the sideline to WR Keon Coleman, but with the Saints playing a two-high safety shell, safety Jonas Sanker came across to pick off Allen.

In the first half, Allen was 1 of 3 passing for 4 yards and an INT against two-high safety looks according to TruMedia. The interception snapped the Bills’ run of 391 straight offensive plays without a turnover, ending what was the longest active streak in the NFL.

“Early on, they’re playing a lot of man coverage, we had a little bit of success on some crossing patterns,” Allen said. “And then they really started to drop back and play some of their zone two-high coverage and really force some things underneath.”
