Minus 1: Costly mistakes

While Buffalo has done better to limit turnovers and opposing rushes this season compared to previous years, they still show up time to time. This was one game where many of those mistakes cost them. Both of Vatrano’s goals came within 18 seconds of each other, with one coming on a breakout rush that was poorly defended and the other on a turnover.
