The Bills fell to the Eagles on Sunday in Week 17, 13-12. Buffalo couldn't generate offensive momentum until roughly the last six minutes of the game when it put its first points on the board. The loss snapped its four-game win streak it started back against the Steelers in Week 13.
Here's what the Bills said of Sunday's matchup and outcome after the game:
Bills defense shuts out Eagles in the second half
Buffalo's defense allowed 13 points in the first half and didn't even let quarterback Jalen Hurts complete a pass in the second. The Bills forced five punts out of the Eagles in the second half. Philadelphia was held to 18 rushing yards in the second half on 10 carries. Hurts had seven incompletions.
"Guys just lock in, I guess. Just go out there and play better, right?" linebacker Shaq Thompson said. "Going into the playoffs, [though], we can't be a second half team."
In the third quarter, wide receiver DeVonta Smith leaped to catch Hurts' pass, but was tackled down midair by cornerback Taron Johnson. While it was initially ruled a completion, the ball bobbled in Smith's hands and hit the ground as he crashed down. The overturned call forced a third-and-10, and Thompson's pressure on Hurts on the next play forced him to throw the ball away and give it back over to Buffalo's offense.
"Defense deserves a lot of credit. They did their job," right tackle Spencer Brown said. "They averaged three yards a play, right? So, that was awesome seeing."

'It shows a lot about this team being able to fight back'
Buffalo's been a second half comeback team since Week 13 against the Steelers. It was the third time since that game, including against the Eagles, it's been in double-digit deficits entering the second half.
The Bills didn't score for nearly 50 minutes of the game, living in a 13-point deficit since the end of the second quarter when Philadelphia kicked its second successful field goal.
"We don't want to be put in those situations. We'd love to be up 30 at halftime, but that's just not football. That's not the NFL. It's a very, very competitive league and any given week, every team has talent. [The Eagles are] an incredibly talented team," tight end Dawson Knox said. "If we can win games by 40, we'd love to do that, but it shows a lot about this team being able to fight back no matter what the deficit is."
Quarterback Josh Allen had two rushing touchdowns in nearly the final 10 minutes of the game. With 11:02 remaining, Allen scored his first touchdown on the ground, and with five seconds left, he registered his second.
It's not how Buffalo wants to live, being down multiple scores in the second half – never mind late in the fourth quarter. However, it's a testament to the team's ability to stay focused and not give up.
"At the end of the day, this team is a bunch of resilient guys," wide receiver Brandin Cooks said. "Things weren't going out way early on as an offense, but we continue to fight, trying to make it a game."
Going for two at the end
Five seconds remained in the fourth quarter, and the Bills just scored their second touchdown of the game, putting themselves within one point of tying the game. Instead of kicking the extra point and sending the contest into overtime, they opted to go for the two-point conversion.
Knox said there's mutual confidence the players have in the coaching staff and vice vera to decide the game on that one play. While it didn't fall in favor of Buffalo, that doesn't change the players' opinions on the decision to go for two.
"I love the aggressiveness. I love the call as an offense," Knox said. "We love it because we want to go out there and win the game with the ball in our hands … If you tie it up, go to overtime, great; but I love the aggressive play call. I love going for two and I love trying to win the game on offense."
Brown said the "belief in 17" to go out and make plays is strong – and the two-point conversion was no exception. The fight to finish until the clock hits triple zeroes is what he loves about the team.
"Overtime just strings the game out," Brown said. "We had a chance to win it right there, so, we're going to take our chances."
Accepting a loss and looking ahead
The Bills clinched a playoff berth in Week 16 with a win against the Browns and Indianapolis loss to the 49ers. After losing to the Eagles, they will play in the Wild Card Round of the postseason. While they want to win every game and put their focus on the next matchup on the schedule week after week, they know their season isn't over because of a Week 17 loss.
"You want to win every game … We try to win every single weekend," Brown said. "Felt like we could have won this one, [but] take your looks and keep moving on. I look forward to it."
Heading into Week 17, the Bills were still in the race for the top spot of the AFC East, going against the Patriots for the division. After a loss and a New England win over the Jets, Buffalo won't win the division for the sixth consecutive season. However, that doesn't derail their plans moving forward.
"It's cool to have the division, but we're always trying to lift the Lombardi up in the air," Thompson said. "We're going to take it one game at a time. Go back Monday, watch this film, get ready for the Jets and after that, get ready for the playoffs."
