Given Bills fans' morale after the Tom Brady-led Bucs jumped out to a dominant 24-3 lead at halftime, several joked – well, they may not have been joking – that they wished their power was still out.

Don't miss Jay Skurski's grades for the Buffalo Bills after their 33-27 overtime loss to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers at Raymond James Stadium.
Allen ranks No. 3 among NFL QBs in rushing attempts and rushing yards, and he leads all NFL starting ball-carriers in yards per carry at 6.1. All that is good for the Bills, except for the obvious question: How much is too much?
