Bills notebook: Third down has been a problem
Posted by GameSetMatch on 6th October 2009
Through four games, the numbers aren’t pretty for the Buffalo Bills offense. They’re especially grotesque when it comes to third downs.
Sunday in Miami, the Bills converted just 1 of 11 chances on third down, their worst performance since going 0 of 7 in a 29-6 loss to the New England Patriots on Nov. 14, 2004.
