Owen Parker shared his thoughts on the Bills win over the Vikings last night
Transcript
00:00My prevailing takeaway from that game last night was I was truly really impressed with how the offense handled it
00:09and how they overcame what could have been a very easy game to get flustered in.
00:18I think that defense presents a set of challenges with what they do up front, the blitz packages, the confusion
00:26that could very easily overwhelm you.
00:30And I would not have been stunned if we saw that sort of get to them a little bit and
00:37we saw Allen push too hard, but we didn't get that.
00:42We got a committed run game and an offense that, despite a slow first half, came out in the second
00:50half and did what they had to do to get a win.
00:52And that's what it's about.
00:53And it was not the same sort of big flashy day that you might want that would sort of be
00:59a real MVP stamp for Josh Allen.
01:02But I think it was really impressive.
01:04And I think that they deserve a lot of credit.
01:06And what my my sort of big thing about it yesterday was like, is that that is that the payoff
01:13of attitude ball?
01:14Like we've I've come in here with Tim after some of these games and we've talked about the downside of,
01:19you know, put the ball down and running and we're going to be big and out physical you and all
01:24that.
01:25And I think last night what you saw was a head coach who was unrelenting in his commitment to running
01:32the football and an understanding that that might not pay off early, but it paid off late.
01:38And it allowed them to beat that defense up a little bit and get them demoralized.
01:45And eventually they finished the game with almost 30 more minutes of possession time.
01:51And if nothing else, you tired that defense out.
01:54There's only so long you can run around and blitz and and have a safety come down.
01:59Like there's only so much of that that a unit can do before they're out of bullets.
02:04And it felt to me like they kind of ran out of bullets last night and the bills forced that
02:08because they were able to keep drives alive long enough to keep that defense out there, run them down, wear
02:18them down and get the plays they needed that eventually put.
