The Buffalo Bills caught a break near the end of the first half after being unable to get the ball in the end zone, but they didn’t quite take advantage of it in a long, exhausting, and funny drive.
The first points in Bills vs. Jaguars came on an 18-play, comedy-filled drive of errors
The Jaguars’ longest drive allowed on defense this season still resulted in just three points for the other team.
The Bills called a timeout after failing to get the Jaguars to jump on fourth-and-1, which seemed like a questionable decision so close to the end zone. But it ended up paying dividends.
As they lined up for their field goal attempt, the Jaguars jumped and were called for a neutral zone infraction on the play, giving the Bills a first-and-goal at the 1-yard line:
An offensive pass interference penalty by Kelvin Benjamin on first down set the Bills back to the 11-yard line.
Taylor then threw incomplete passes on second and third down, lining up Steven Hauschka for a 31-yard field goal, which he made to put the first points of the game on the board:
The drive — which took 8:06 of game time — was the longest allowed by the Jaguars in terms of time all season. It went for 18 plays and 71 yards — and the Jaguars were still able to hold them to a field goal after appearing to shoot themselves in the foot.
That drive also made a bit of history:
The second half of this thing should be fun.
