There was some good credit and some awful grades handed out to the Buffalo Bills following their loss to the Los Angeles Rams.
The Bills (10-3) fell 44-42 in the end. While it was tight all the way through thanks to quarterback Josh Allen, many think Buffalo head coach Sean McDermott botched it.
On the goal line with time expiring and needing to get the ball back after potentially scoring, the Bills ran the ball. Allen took a QB sneak and did not score.
Instead of doing almost anything else which might have been better, McDermott called a timeout. That caused his defense to have essentially not shot at getting the ball back for the offense to go on and win the game.
National reaction to the two took headlines following the final whistle.
