The Buffalo faces Jacksonville Jaguars

The Buffalo Bills have put a muzzle on the Jacksonville Jaguars through a very fast-paced 30 minutes of action. The Bills lead the Jaguars 27-3, but the score doesn’t tell the full story of just how dominant a half Buffalo has played.

Wide receiver Khalil Shakir has been a one-man wrecking crew, utilizing his pinball-like penchant to humble the Jaguars with every touch he’s had. He’s already caught six passes (on six targets) for 72 yards and one very entertaining touchdown.

The Bills came out firing on almost all cylinders, even aggressively converting a fourth-down try on their opening possession. Early on, it was the James Cook show, with Allen finding his dual-threat running back often for passes in the flat. Cook’s energy was infectious from the outset, and his nose for the end zone got the first-half party started. At the break, Cook has six carries for 22 yards and one touchdown; adding four catches (on five targets) for 48 yards.

Buffalo has proven to be an impossible task for Jacksonville’s man defense to contain. The energy from the Bills’ sideline has perceptibly drained every reserve from the Jaguars.

Through two quarters, quarterback Josh Allen has gone 22-of-28 for 247 yards and four touchdowns, adding three carries for 22 yards. His four scores have gone to four different receivers: tight end Dalton Kincaid, running back Ty Johnson, and wide receivers Shakir and Keon Coleman — who hauled in his first NFL touchdown in epic fashion.

Safety Damar Hamlin grabbed his first career interception late in the second quarter off a poor pass by quarterback Trevor Lawrence that was intended for rookie wide receiver Brian Thomas, Jr.

Five possessions. Five touchdowns. And there’s a second half to play. Here’s your second-half thread to enjoy the rest of tonight’s game with your fellow Buffalo Rumblers. As always, be kind to one another and with every ounce of energy you have, by all means... Go Bills!
