Bills show ability to overcome their flaws by rolling into playoff meeting against Steelers
Associated PressORCHARD PARK, N.Y. — Let’s dispense with predictions, because enough people — Buffalo Bills fans included — already have been proven wrong by a team that has defied the odds and the eye test by earning a playoff berth, never mind the AFC’s No. All it takes for proof is the montage of national media naysayers spliced together in a 49-second video the team posted Monday on X, formerly known as Twitter, under the heading: “You know we keep receipts.” The clip features enough cold takes to fill a walk-in freezer at any of Buffalo’s renowned wing establishments. And Buffalo’s special teams, which cost the Bills wins against the Jets and Denver this season, sparked the comeback with Deonte Harty setting a franchise record by returning a punt 96 yards for a touchdown. Harty was most recently remembered for a fumble at the Buffalo 27 that led to the Los Angeles Chargers going up 10-0 in the Bills’ eventual 24-22 win two weeks ago. “But the only thing that it solidifies is a home game and one more game.” Allen was celebrating the victory at Miami in front of a large crowd of Bills fans when receiver Stefon Diggs came over, cupped his hand and whispered in the quarterback’s ear, saying, “Four more.” WHAT’S WORKING A defense that’s limited its past four opponents to go a combined 17 of 47 on third down, convert 64 first downs and gain an average of 259 yards per outing.
