What happened

The K.Shakir 43-yard touchdown in the first quarter set the tone, and J.Allen kept finding soft spots all afternoon — K.Coleman for 20, D.Kincaid for 28, the answers never stopped coming. The trick play interception with C.Olave throwing to S.Rattler at the BUF 1 was the kind of self-inflicted wound that lingers. C.Granderson's sack flashed something real, and the fight was there, but 0-4 is 0-4 no matter how it's framed.
