Bills fans can't decide if a J.Allen smile and a Browns squeaker is charming or a flashing red light.

The emotional rollercoaster

Fan misery across the game window. Up is worse.

What happened

A three-point road win over a 3-11 team that needed J.Cook's 44-yard touchdown burst and two takeaways off S.Sanders — including J.Poyer's first-quarter pick — to survive. The defense letting T.Williams rip off 11 yards in crunch time and forcing J.Allen into hero-ball mode against Cleveland is the part that won't sit right. A win is a win, but if this is the floor in Week 16, January is going to be a white-knuckle ride.
