Packers fall to Bills, 19-0, to wrap up preseason

With the Bills keeping Allen and their starters on the field at the start of the second quarter, the Packers turned up the pressure on Buffalo’s quarterback.

Rookie linebacker Isaiah McDuffie pressured Allen into a throwaway to avoid a sack on first-and-10 at the Buffalo 35, which helped pave the way for the defense forcing a Bills punt.

Love and the Packers’ offense took over at the Green Bay 25 and picked up their initial first down after a 9-yard pass to Begelton in the flat.

An 11-yard run by Hill advanced to midfield, while Begelton’s third catch of the day went for six yards off an underneath pass to the Buffalo 44.

The Packers converted a fourth-and-1 with a deep playaction pass to tight end Dominique Dafney for 23 yards, but former Packers safety Micah Hyde would then pick off Love after the second-year QB threw up a ball in the end zone.

The Packers had Buffalo in third-and-8 and fourth-and-2 situations but Allen converted with a 10-yard pass to Cole Beasley and a 4-yard scramble, respectively.

The Bills would extend their lead to 13-0 after Allen threw a 3-yard touchdown to Zack Moss on third-and-goal. A botched snap led to Buffalo missing the point after attempt.

Love had the chance to run a two-minute drill before half, though it came without their starting interior offensive line. He drew Buffalo offsides and connecting with Malik Taylor for a 27-yard, tiptoe catch on the sideline.

Taylor, Green Bay’s leading receiver in the preseason, caught another pass for nine yards before Love scrambled for 10 down to the Buffalo 33.

Love got the Bills to jump again with 59 seconds left in the half. A 10-yard screen pass to Hill made it first-and-goal at the Bills’ 10. The Packers wouldn’t get any points from the series, as Mason Crobsy missed a 28-yard field goal to end the first half.
