What’s wrong with the Buffalo Bills?
Are they not one of the top Super Bowl contenders?
Well, seven weeks into the NFL season, the Bills did not play up to expectations.
Twitter users reacted to the Bills getting back on track with a 24-18 victory over the visiting Tampa Bay Buccaneers on Thursday Night Football.
The difference?
“I think we played with more passion tonight,” Bills rookie Dalton Kincaid told Prime Video after the game. “Coming out, playing with more energy.”
The scene …

Down by two TDs, Bucs QB Baker Mayfield directed an extended 7-plus minute drive, but some fans questioned the tactics behind its execution …
This is asinine all this time being wasted by the #GoBucs on this drive trailing by two scores with less than 4 minutes left. Terrible football and game management.
