4. Offense + defense peaking at right time
We've heard multiple times from the Bills coaching staff that the team needs to be playing their best football in November and December. Well, the Bills are 6-1 in those two months. Since Week 12, Buffalo's defense is tied for fifth only allowing 18.8 points per game and second allowing only 87.3 rushing yards per game. They also rank fourth allowing opponents to convert third downs just 31.4% of the time during that timeframe.
Since Week 9, Buffalo's offense leads the NFL averaging 34.8 points per game and ranks fourth averaging 406.3 total yards per game. They are also tied for first converting on 50% of their third downs in the last six games. Quarterback Josh Allen has the third-best completion percentage during that time, completing 70.5% of his passes.
Safety Micah Hyde believes the Bills are playing their best football yet.
"This is the NFL, we understand there's challenges each and every week," Hyde explained. "When we were talking to you guys back in August and September, we said we wanted to be playing our best football come November and December. I think we're doing that. We're playing good football right now, and the crazy thing is we can get better."
Head coach Sean McDermott likes what he's seeing, but knows the team can take it to another level.
"I think our team is playing good ball, I really do," McDermott said. "I'll give them a lot of credit and we've got to continue to push one another, encourage one another and hold each other accountable because there's more out there. Not just in terms of the playoffs and everything, but just in terms of what we can do as a team, and I say that respectfully and humbly of course. But that's the growth mindset of there's always something to work on every day. But at the same time, I'm very confident about who we are and chasing more."
