Week 6: Bills @ Giants

Well, the Buffalo Bills will have an awful taste in their mouths heading into the bye.  The Giants, led by Eli Manning, completely dominated the Bills.  Despite a heavy rain all game, Manning threw for 386 yards and 4 touchdowns, averaging 10.7 yards per attempt.  Ahmad Bradshaw couldn’t be stopped either, as he slipped plenty of tackles all game in route to a 183 yard performance.  In total, New York compiled 594 yards of offense, and scored 6 touchdowns in the red zone.  Thanks to some costly Bills turnovers, this game was over early. The Bills now have 2 weeks to figure out what went wrong, and will get ready to host the Washington Redskins in Toronto.
