Unforgettable win is a game-changer

Unforgettable win is a game-changer

There was Josh Allen being interviewed by CBS’ Tracy Wolfson on national television and receiving a turkey leg, which was quickly shared with Tre’Davious White as White sung the “Shout” song. There was

White imitating Dak Prescott’s viral pregame warm-up on the Bills sideline. There was Jordan Phillips and Shaq Lawson mimicking Ezekiel Elliott’s “feed me” celebration as Jim Nantz signed off with a “Happy Thanksgiving.” There were numerous shots of Jerry Jones fuming in his owner’s box, contrasted with a single close-up of the Buffalo owner’s box that showed Terry Pegula and general manager Brandon Beane gleefully high-fiving.

Publicly, the Bills tried to pass off their Thanksgiving game against the Dallas Cowboys as just another game. Allen and Sean McDermott were careful with their words, stressing that it was another win in another week, one that helps Buffalo get another step closer to its ultimate goal.

This was not just another game, however. This was the statement game this Buffalo franchise has wanted and needed for so very long.

On the national stage, with more than 30 million viewers watching across the country, the Bills went out and demolished “America’s Team.” On Thanksgiving. At Jerry World.

Yes, the Bills ended their playoff drought two years ago, and, yes, they did so in unforgettable fashion. But there was always a sense that the 2017 Bills got a little bit lucky, that they ultimately overachieved. The ensuing playoff loss didn’t help.

While this may just have been a regular-season game, it was so, so much more than that. Given where the Bills have been, and where they’ve come from, Buffalo’s 26-15 win over the Cowboys will go down as one of the most memorable games in franchise history.

I mean, really ... do you think anyone’s going to ever forget this one?

RUNNING BACKS: TOP AVAILABLE FREE AGENTS

Aaron Jones, Packers 5-9 • 208 pounds • 27 years old A fifth-round steal in the 2017 draft out of UTEP, Jones is equally proficient in the running and passing games. He rushed for more than 1,000 yards the last two years, and caught 49 and 47 passes, respectively. He’s also a touchdown machine with 30 TDs the last two years (25 rushing and 5 receiving). The son of two career Army officers, he’s a tough, driven player and the kind of guy players want on their team.

QUARTERBACKS: TOP AVAILABLE FREE AGENTS

Dak Prescott, Cowboys 6-2 • 235 pounds • 27 years old A solid starter who has a nice TD-INT ratio over his first five seasons (104-40), Prescott is an accurate thrower and very mobile. However, he’s coming off a compound fracture and dislocation of his right ankle, so it remains to be seen if this will impact his game moving forward.

Hunter Henry, Chargers 6-5 • 250 pounds • 29 years old A very talented player, Henry has had issues staying healthy, unable to complete an NFL season, including missing the entire 2018 season with a torn ACL. But when healthy, he’s a terrific all-around tight end who really connected with Justin Herbert in 2020 with 60 catches. Henry is very good at finding holes in zone coverage.
