The Bills offense couldn’t get on track Sunday night in Baltimore. Allen recorded his second-lowest dropback success rate (23.5%) in a game in his career, with just 8 of 34 dropbacks resulting in a successful play, per Next Gen Stats. It marked just the third time in the past three seasons that Allen was held without a tocuhdown pass.
Buffalo generated 236 total yards, 12 first downs, and went 3-of-13 on third downs.
“I don’t think we had a bad game plan, I think the game was called bad,” Brady said.
Brady said the trick play was a poor choice at the time because the Bills had finally built some momentum.
“Not even as a bad play call just because of the result of the play, but I try to provide myself on the feel and flow of the game and how things are going,” he said. “Even if we had been able to get that off, and even if we were able to do something with it, it just wasn’t good timing for the play. I have to have a better feel and understanding. Just a poor play call and ultimately cost us a football game because we had an opportunity to cut it to a one-score game because we were kind of flowing right there, so I have to be better.”
The 3-1 Bills have a chance to get back on track Sunday when they visit the AFC South-leading Texans in Houston — a reunion with old friend Stefon Diggs.
