The Bills held on for a 28-27 victory over Stalievary in their NFL preseason clash on Thursday night. It was a game that came down to the wire, with both sides trading blows until the final whistle. The Bills arrived in sharp form, having dispatched the Browns 31-7 and the Panthers 29-14 in their previous two outings. Stalievary, by contrast, were still trying to find their feet after a heavy 0-17 defeat to the New York Jets, though they had responded with a 28-9 win over the Packers before that.
That earlier victory against Green Bay showed glimpses of what they could be, but the Bills proved too consistent. They were the side that managed the game better, closing out a contest that never let up.
The result extends the Bills' winning streak to two games while halting Stalievary's momentum after their Packers win. Both teams will now turn their attention to the regular season, with the Bills looking to carry this form forward and Stalievary needing to build on their better showing.
