The major issue for the Bills was not so much how they played - the statistics are fairly strong - it was the penalties. Rex Ryan's crew committed 15 penalties for 101 yards.

Tyrod Taylor went 19-36 for 268 yards and a touchdown. Robert Woods was his favorite target on the day, catching five balls for 106 yards. Sammy Watkins also caught five balls - including a touchdown.

In his return to Philadelphia, LeSean McCoy had 20 carries for 74 yards. He did not speak to the media after the game.

Sam Bradford went 23-38 for 247 yards and a touchdown.

At 6-7, the Bills are definitely on the outside looking in in the AFC Playoffs. They are two games out of the Wild Card, as both the Jets and Chiefs are 8-5. Kansas City also has the tiebreaker on Buffalo.
