National reactions: Bills get swag back in prime-time win vs. Bucs
The Buffalo Bills turned aside the Tampa Bay Buccaneers under the prime-time lights of Thursday Night Football in Week 8.
The Bills (5-3) had a little luck on their side as the Buccaneers (3-4) were uncomfortably close to converted on a late Hail Mary pass… but in the end a 24-18 victory.
It was a bit of a surprise that the Bucs were even that close. Buffalo’s offense has been known to put up more than 24 points, but they had plenty of successes on Thursday.
It felt like the Bills had even more than 24 on the scoreboard thanks to the likes of Josh Allen, Dalton Kincaid, and Gabe Davis.
Regardless of final score, the Bills caught national attention in the end. Here’s a national media reaction roundup on the Bills’ win:
