Buffalo Bills roll past Saints: Thanksgiving Gameday Thread
NEW ORLEANS, L.A. (WHEC) — Bills mafia rarely cares if there’s food on the table – they’ll break it in two anyway. This Thanksgiving, cooking the turkey likely wasn’t on the minds of any Bills believers. Instead, the focus is on Thursday Night Football against the New Orleans Saints.
Grab your remote, keep it locked to NEWS10NBC, and make sure you get the best seat in the house. We’ll provide live updates with Tweets from Jackson Roberts as the game unfolds.
Saints to get the ball to begin this #Thanksgiving matinee.

They’ll punt when the 2nd Q begins. (very quick first btw)
After some slow back-and-forth possessions, Josh Allen goes downfield to Gabriel Davis and the Bills are in the redzone.
2nd sack of Allen in the game.

Looks like Tyler Bass’ woes didn’t carry over from last week. 10-0 #Bills in the middle of the 2nd Q.
Tre White injured his left leg with under 7:00 left in the 2nd quarter.
Tre’Davious White off the field and into the locker room after getting shaken up on that play. #Bills

4th straight game with a pick thrown. 9th on the year. #BillsMafia
A New Orleans fake punt attempt is going to set the Bills up with the ball right around mid-field.
Tre Davious White doubtful to return. #Bills #NFL

Buffalo takes a 10-0 lead into halftime.
Josh Allen leads a six-plus minute opening second half drive. It ends with a Stefon Diggs TD. Bills extend the lead to 17-0 after the Tyler Bass kick.
Very solid 1st drive of the 2nd half for the #Bills ends in fitting fashion: Allen to Diggs for a TD.

17-0 BUF
That’s TWO touchdowns for Dawson Knox on Thanksgiving. Bills – 24, Saints – 0.
4th down conversions? How about 4th down TDs! ??
— Jackson Roberts (@WHEC_JRoberts) November 26, 2021
Allen to Knox again. 7th for Dawson this year.
24-0 BUF with 4:19 to go in the 3rd.
New Orleans gets its first points of the game. Bills on top, 24-6. Start of the 4th quarter.
Matt Breida answers, scooting by defenders and walking into the endzone. Bills tack on seven more points. 31-6, Buffalo.
Had a feeling Matt Breida would get that 1st TD tonight.

31-6 now. #Bills
Jordan Poyer with an interception! Bills take over with roughly seven minutes to go.
Josh Allen done for the night. Mitch Trubisky in. #BillsMafia
