Quarterback Jalen Milroe led the Bills with an impressive performance, tossing three touchdown passes while establishing a strong rhythm with his receivers. Saquon Barkley was a force on the ground, racking up an astonishing 278 rushing yards, while Brenen Thompson shone in the passing game with 169 receiving yards.
