The Buffalo Bills bounced back from their shock defeat to the Patriots by beating the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in convincing fashion on Thursday Night Football.
Offensive spotlight: Bills quarterback Josh Allen looked back to his old self, finishing 31-of-40 for 324 yards, two touchdowns and one unlucky interception resulting from a tipped ball. He averaged 8.1 yards per pass attempt, recorded an 81.6% adjusted completion percentage and added 41 yards and another touchdown on seven carries as a runner.

Defensive spotlight: Bills safety Jordan Poyer was targeted five times in coverage on Thursday night. He allowed three catches for only 12 yards, and just one of those catches moved the chains. He racked up nine total tackles on the night in an all-around solid outing.
Rookie spotlight: Buccaneers slot cornerback Christian Izien struggled in coverage tonight, allowing four catches from four targets for 45 yards. While he didn't give up a touchdown — a small consolation, but a consolation nonetheless — he did allow three first downs, and he also missed a tackle.
