A lot has been made of the fact that the Bills only scored 3 points on offense on Monday night. Obviously that is unacceptable.
However, I think part of the reason for the lack of points was that we were unexpectedly leading the entire game (until the bitter conclusion). I'm not breaking new ground here, but it's worth mentioning. If we were down or even tied, I think Fairchild would have opened things up more and we would have seen more production and probably more points. But ironically since we were protecting the lead, I think Fairchild was thinking "our defense and special teams have been doing their job, let's not push the rook to do too much and cost us the game." Oddly, Fairchild broke from this philosophy on the play that led to the interception.
