Quarterbacks Drew Bledsoe struggled with the cold, windy conditions. He threw a bunch of passes off target and almost had a couple picked off. However, he still made the plays when they were needed and a couple nice drives that ate up the clock, even when the run wasn’t working. Bledsoe was 15/30 for 183 yards and a touchdown. He even had a couple runs for 13-yards. The Bengals rushed Bledsoe all day long, but he still only had 2 sacks and no interceptions. Overall, I was pleased with his play. Drew Bledsoe may have made a few bad plays here and there, but he never gave the ball away and didn’t make his normal away game mistakes. Grade: B-
Running Backs: The Bengals have a terrible run defense, but it didn’t show on Sunday. They keyed on Willis McGahee and Shaud Williams all game long by putting 7, or even 8 men in the box. This worked; as the backs were held to under 60 total yards rushing. Willis McGahee was injured early and had problems after it. The Bills decided to take him out of the game in the middle of the 3rd quarter, while they had a big lead. McGahee had 11 carries for 25 yards and a fumble when his knee was hyper extended on a play. Shaud Williams took over and also struggled. He finished the day with 14 carries for 30 yards. Overall, it was a tough day for the backs. Hopefully, McGahee will be okay and the Bills can get back to pounding the ball in the final 2 games of the season. Grade: C
