The Bills were able to run the ball all night long and it allowed them to control the game, much like they have in their other three wins since firing offensive coordinator Gregg Roman. They finished the game with a total of 312 yards rushing with 7 different players contributing to that number.
On defense, Buffalo allowed a few big plays to Kaepernick and his offense. However, they only allowed one touchdown and stopped the 49ers when it counted forcing them to kick three field goals.
Although Buffalo failed to intercept the ball, they forced San Francisco to turnover on downs in the third quarter and also forced a huge fumble off a kick return in the fourth quarter.
Here’s a quick look at the box score from Sunday’s game:
1 | 2 | 3 | 4 | T | |
Bills | 7 | 10 | 7 | 21 | 45 |
49ers | 3 | 10 | 0 | 3 | 16 |
