Buffalo Bills quarterback Josh Allen had some insights into the game plan that led to their decisive 31-10 victory over the Dallas Cowboys. Following the game, Allen acknowledged a strategic approach, noting the Cowboys’ reliance on their dome environment. He emphasized the Bills’ focus on exploiting opportunities in the run game, recognizing that the Cowboys’ defense is often targeted through the air. Buffalo capitalized on this by heavily emphasizing the run, amassing an impressive 266 rushing yards, with James Cook leading the charge with 179 yards and a touchdown on 25 carries. The absence of starting defensive tackle Johnathan Hankins proved costly for the struggling Cowboys defense.
The Cowboys, facing challenges on the road, have suffered three significant blowout losses away from home this season, against Arizona, Buffalo, and San Francisco. This poses a threat to their postseason aspirations, especially if they finish second in the division, as they might face the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in the Wild Card round.

Prescott stressed the importance of closing the gap and finding answers to ensure consistency, emphasizing the team’s desire to replicate their success at home during away games. The Cowboys, now in search of solutions, recognize the urgency of bridging the gap in their performance on the road for a more balanced and competitive season.
