New York finished the night with zero turnovers against one for Buffalo, converted 9 of 19 third downs compared to Buffalo’s 1-of-9, and went a perfect 2-for-2 in the red zone. Graham Gano connected on all three field goal attempts — from 53, 50, and 51 yards — while Dart, Winston, and DeVito each posted a passer rating above 100. Buffalo’s backups generated better yards per play (7.1 vs. 5.2) and more passing yards per attempt (8.3 vs. 6.2), but a fumble lost, a 1-of-9 third-down conversion rate, and a 12-minute deficit in time of possession kept the Bills from closing the gap until it was too late.
