Bills Run Their Way to a 16-6 Win Over The Cowboys
With less than two minutes to play in the half, the Cowboys defense began their normal string of poor tackling allowing the Bills to convert third down after third down.

As it stands right now, there are only two other teams with fewer losses on the season than the Cowboys.
Coach Andy Reid has said, “I like the football team”.
The gist of Bowles’ message after the Houston loss: “Either we’re going to do this or we’re not”, Pace said. I like the makeup, even during that (losing) time. Weeden made his feelings clear on his weekly call with his hometown radio station, talking about his new team, DeAndre Hopkins, his Christmas, and how the Texans locker room has his back.
We know how that turned out.
So I give them credit for pounding out a much-needed win and doing so with a depleted lineup that should’ve warranted a ticket refund.
The Bills overcame an injury-depleted roster to show a semblance of competitiveness against the Cowboys.
Prior to the game, NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport reported that General Manager Doug Whaley is on firm ground as far as his job status and with one year left on his contract he is closer to receiving an extension than he is to being fired. “We knew that he meant business, and changed it”. “But you can’t be disappointed with the efforts of the players out there”.
Granted, at 4-11, America’s Team is now America’s Afterthought.
With starting running back LeSean McCoy sidelined with a knee injury Sunday, it seemed clear the Buffalo Bills would turn to some combination of Karlos Williams and Mike Gillislee to fill in.
While Ryan downplayed the game following Buffalo’s victory over the Cowboys on Sunday – saying he wished his team could be playing for more than just spoiler – some Bills players took the opposite approach.
Ryan calle Gillislee the “fastest slow guy I’ve ever seen”, in reference to his slow run time in the combine, but Gillislee has the ability to elevate his run game, at times looking more like McCoy than a third string running back.
The Bills punter had another very good game.
This is one of those games that if you went to it, you are happy that the home team came away with a win. While, he wasn’t asked to do a lot with 18 pass attempts only, he did rush 14 times for an additional 67 yards which did make him a standout. That was Buffalo’s last playoff year, but Flutie had the NFL’s No. 1 defense, not No. 21. He was held to a 48.6 rating, which in the world of statistics is a speck of sand. He fumbled the final kickoff after Buffalo scored their final touchdown and the game was over, without Dallas getting a chance for one last run.
Without Ronald Darby and Stephon Gilmore the Bills backup cornerbacks all had to play and contribute. Terrance Williams got involved on a nice third down converting screen pass. However, Kellen Moore’s pass was deflected and intercepted by A.J. Tarpley. We get that”, Ryan said, “but at the same time you don’t want to limit him too much to where he is not a threat to carry the football.
Fresh bodies. A fresh attitude.
“Well, we got something to play for now, ” running back Boobie Dixon said. “It’s unfortunate we didn’t get enough going in the passing game to keep the drives alive and score some points”, Garrett said.
