Sean Payton's punt decision sets up Bills for long TD drive and 24-23 lead
NBC Sports • • sports
Key Points:
- Late in the third quarter, Broncos coach Sean Payton opted to punt on fourth-and-9 at the Bills' 40-yard line instead of attempting a 58-yard field goal or going for a fourth-down conversion.
- The punt resulted in the Bills starting at their own 15-yard line, from where Josh Allen led an 85-yard touchdown drive.
- The touchdown and extra point gave the Bills a 24-23 lead in the fourth quarter, shifting momentum in their favor.
- If the Bills win, Payton's decision to punt rather than attempt a field goal or conversion will likely be scrutinized.
