What BBN said about it

  2. Vera Bullock · Co-AnchorIs blitzing the one where they run at him? Because that sounds like a lot of running.

  3. Rex "Two-Point" Gridley · Sports AnchorAlmost every dropback, Vera. And Jahmyr Gibbs still ran for a hundred fifty-three yards and a touchdown. That ends an eleven-game winning streak.

  4. Vera Bullock · Co-AnchorEleven straight is a historic run.

  5. Rex "Two-Point" Gridley · Sports AnchorEight penalties, nine fewer first downs than Detroit, and Kevin O'Connell says it's not one particular thing. Coach, with that stat sheet, it's several things.

  6. Vera Bullock · Co-AnchorThey're now second in the NFC behind San Francisco, and the Bills visit Monday night.

  7. Vera Bullock · Co-AnchorIn press terms, that's a short-term leadership transition with a fast rematch with the standings.
