Top 3 Things We Learned from Bills vs. Dolphins

3 — Offense finds a groove in the second half

All three of Buffalo’s touchdown drives came in the second half of Sunday’s game, as the Bills again managed to make the right adjustments at halftime.

“It was a pretty big zone play, whether it was zone pressure or not, they really forced us to take everything underneath and hoped we messed it up,” Allen said. “I just trusted the guys underneath to catch and run, and I made some big plays in the play-action pass game just to control it.”

In the third and fourth quarters, the Bills averaged 6.7 yards per play, after averaging 4.2 yards per play in the first half. Buffalo scored on all four of their possessions after halftime.

“At the end of the day, we just look each other in the face and just say, hey, one foot in front of the other,” WR Khalil Shakir said. “You have to keep going, regardless of the start, regardless of how the game goes. Whatever the game is called, okay, we have to do our best to execute it.”

Allen was efficient on all four drives in the second half, taking what the defense gave him and staying ahead of the chains. On passes of less than 10 air yards, Allen completed 9 of 13 attempts for 104 yards and was responsible for all three of his touchdowns.

“I’d like to be better in the first half, obviously, and I’d like to be better in the two-minute drive. I didn’t feel like, again, like you said, I didn’t feel like (we) had a fastball .Again, I just took it out,” Allen said.
