First Quarter


The game began with both teams showcasing strong defensive plays. The Dawg Pound's defense was led by Myles Garrett and Alex Wright, each contributing half a sack and combining for significant pressure on the Bills' quarterback. Despite their efforts, Buffalo managed to take an early lead with a field goal from Andre Szmyt.


Second Quarter


Cleveland's offense found some rhythm as Shedeur Sanders connected with Harold Fannin Jr. for a touchdown pass, bringing excitement to the home crowd. However, two interceptions thrown by Sanders hindered further progress for Cleveland in this quarter.


Third Quarter


The third quarter saw increased intensity from both sides. Carson Schwesinger stood out defensively for Cleveland with one sack and multiple tackles that kept Buffalo's offense under check temporarily. Yet again, Szmyt extended Buffalo’s lead with another successful field goal attempt.


Fourth Quarter


In an attempt to rally back into contention during the fourth quarter, Corey Bojorquez executed strategic punts that pinned down Buffalo deep in their territory several times throughout this period. Despite these efforts and solid rushing contributions from Raheim Sanders totaling 42 yards on 11 attempts, it wasn't enough as Josh Allen led his team downfield effectively sealing victory for his side late into regulation time.


This matchup highlighted key moments such as defensive stops by Devin Bush who recorded nine tackles overall but ultimately couldn't prevent crucial plays made by opposing players like Stefon Diggs whose receiving prowess helped secure pivotal first downs when needed most during crunch time situations encountered throughout gameplay duration itself!
