When Josh Allen and the Buffalo Bills’ high-flying offense is performing as it did during Thursday night’s 31-10 trouncing of the defending Super Bowl champion Los Angeles Rams, the Bills are making the punter position obsolete.
That’s because the rout of the Rams marked the fourth time in the team’s last six games that Buffalo didn’t need to punt the ball.
Newly signed punter Sam Martin did make his debut with Buffalo, holding for Tyler Bass on four successful extra points and a 41-yard field goal. But his booming leg wasn’t needed for any punts on the night.
