A solid game plan and gap integrity allowed the #Bills to give up 3 yards fewer on first down than their season average. That forced Jalen Hurts to beat them with his arm and he didn't complete a pass in the second half. Tale of the tape:

Tale of the tape: Solid defensive plan allowed Bills to stifle Eagles on early downs
ORCHARD PARK — On paper it seemed like the Philadelphia Eagles presented an offense that would force the Buffalo Bills to hold on for dear life.

• AFC East/No. 1 seed odds
• Keeping Jalen Hurts in the pocket
• Tight end battle
• Receiver combinations

Before last week, Greg Rousseau hadn't recorded a fourth-quarter sack since Week 4 of 2023. He's got 2.5 over the last two games, plus an intentional grounding call. He's inching toward being the closer the #Bills need.

After his ninth 100-yard game, James Cook, not Josh Allen, has established himself as the #Bills' MVP this season. The passing game can't find consistency as #Buffalo continues reshuffling receivers with little production.

Expecting a big second season, Ray Davis found himself stuck to the bench amid James Cook's historic season. But the #Bills inserted Davis at kick returner seven weeks ago and he's averaging an NFL-best 32.4 yards per return.

Sean McDermott says there's a chance Mecole Hardman plays. Jordan Phillips, Matt Prater and Chase Lundt will not play. Cam Lewis won't practice today and he's a "we'll see" for the game. Dion Dawkins is back. Christian Benford will practice in full. #Bills

Myles Garrett plays predominantly on the right side, but split his snaps evenly against the #Bills in 2022. That means Spencer Brown will get a chance to prove he's among the top NFL right tackles against a player having an all-time great season.

James Cook needs 85 yards to the first #Bills player to hit 1,500 yards rushing in 49 years. He needs to average 104.7 scrimmage yards over the last three to be the first to hit 2,000 in 33 years.

And his elite vision is what got him to the doorstep.

The #Bills are 14-10 in November since 2020, with Josh Allen throwing 54 total TDs and 31 INTs. Then he flips a switch in December, going 19-3 with 65 TDs and nine INTs. Allen will need another magnificent month with AFC East hopes dwindling.
