00:00They really didn't try to go down the field.

00:02I wonder if they could have, if they really attempted to.

00:06More than conservative?

00:07Right, would there have been a shot down the field or what would the offense have looked

00:10like if Baltimore had got the DuPont conversion?

00:12Would they have had some plays they were just kind of, I don't know about saving, but...

00:15No, maybe, I mean, maybe they said, we're up 11, we don't need to chuck the ball down

00:19the field.

00:20We're going to play ball control.

00:21We're running the ball fine.

00:23Let's move the chains.

00:24Let's run the clock.

00:25If we have three drives where we're running the ball well in this half, then they're not

00:30going to have time to come back and make up for it.

00:34To that point about running the ball and how well they ran the ball, Benjamin Solak of

00:37ESPN had this.

00:39The Broncos regular season, Broncos and Ravens here, back-to-back stats.

00:44The Broncos were the best team in football on success rate against the run and had their

00:49worst game of the season against the Bills.

00:52And the Ravens were the number two success rate against the run and had their worst game

00:56of the season against the Bills.

00:58So the last two weeks, the Bills opponents, who were the two best defending the run, had

01:05their worst game of the season.

01:07It's a testament to Joe Brady's offense, to Aaron Kroemer, Alec Anderson, the backs, the

01:13line.

01:14Two weeks in a row, you're not even really necessarily doing it with Josh Allen being

01:18superhero, Superman.

01:20It's the run game.

01:22And they kind of ground and pound Baltimore into a huge lead that they were able to hold

01:27on to.

01:28Why don't they make the turnovers?

01:29Why don't they make the mistakes?

01:30Because they're playing from in front and they probably didn't have to.

01:34Can they do that again against Kansas City?

01:36We'll find out.

01:37But they're going to try to probably win the same way and it's on the ground.
