"The Bills were looking to finish off their Week 16 game in Cleveland to escape back to Lake Erie with a much-needed win against a team that they came in double-digit favorites against. On fourth-and-2 from the Cleveland 44-yard line, defensive end Greg Rousseau quickly got past left tackle Cam Robinson to impact rookie quarterback Shedeur Sanders and then bring him down for a sack."
"It's reflective of the team in all three phases, with comebacks and tight games now a formula for the Bills. "Do we need it to be more consistent? Yes. You can't allow a team to do what they did," coach Sean McDermott said after the win. "So, we're continuing to push. We got to continue to push to give ourselves a chance to win the game."
With a 23-20 win in Cleveland, the Buffalo Bills improved to 11-4 and extended their winning streak to four games. The defense provided critical late stops, including a fourth-and-2 sack by Greg Rousseau on rookie quarterback Shedeur Sanders that helped seal the victory. Adjustments by staff in the fourth quarter produced big plays and essential stops, a growing signature for the team. The unit's frequent need to make late-game stops signals an underlying consistency issue to monitor before the postseason. Coach Sean McDermott emphasized the need for greater consistency while praising recent takeaways and execution.
