Sunday Night Football may have been a rematch of two teams from Super Bowl XXV, but the paucity of points suggested anything other than two struggling teams looking for momentum.
The Buffalo Bills beat the New York Giants 14-9 at Highmark Stadium. For the Bills, the win improves their record to 4-2 as they keep pace with the 5-1 Miami Dolphins. The loss send New York to 1-5 and hoping their future isn’t all used up.
Josh Allen went 19-of-30 for 169 yards, two touchdowns, an interception, and rushed twice for 11 yards. Cris Collinsworth thought he played a great game, but Twitter thought otherwise.
Here are some of the best comments to emerge from social media throughout the game.
Josh Allen with a big hug for Giants director of coaching operations Laura Young.

Tyrod Taylor already running the Giants offense better than Daniel Jones. Giants fans have to stop giving DJ excuses about the o-line. Bottom line is DJ sucks!

It’s cool watching future Raven Saquon Barkley in his last games in a Giants uniform.

I'm sorry Stefon Diggs just seems like the most annoying teammate ever

Brian Daboll is the most New York looking coach the Giant’s ever had.

The #bills better start hiring a halftime band to entertain the fans. This is embarrassing.

it’s amazing how taron johnson went from getting drilled in the face w a ball at the combine to legitimately one of the best players in the league

Did I just witness a creative play call ?

Josh under center and use of motion and it ends up in a touchdown. Imagine that. #BillsMafia

I love that the NYG stink. Ed Donatell’s horrible D last year made Daniel Jones look like an All-Pro and they extended him because of those two games. 😂😂

You’re telling me only kicking FGs won’t beat the Bills? Wild.

This is why Tyrod Taylor is a career backup. Thank god he left the chargers. Just bonehead decisions
