The Jaguars made history as the first NFL team to play back-to-back games in London and defeated the Buffalo Bills 25-20 by employing extended drives on Sunday in London. The Buffalo Bills had a short turnaround, arriving in England only on Friday morning. The former No. 1 overall pick, Trevor Lawrence, achieved his first 300-yard passing performance this season going 25-for-37 passing for 315 yards and a touchdown to guide the Jacksonville Jaguars to victory. 

However, the real cause of their downfall was not their crumbling defense, but one that resulted from poor decision-making on the part of the management. Former Bills running back, actor, and broadcaster, Orenthal James Simpson was quick to identify the issue and called it out on the platform ‘X’.

Reveared as one of the greatest running backs of all time, 76-year-old Simpson was brutal as he exposed the real reason behind the bills looking, as though they were, walking around in a daze.” Thinking out loud, Simpson kept asking himself, “Why are they playing so bad?” He even had a friend of his call him and suggest the same before one of the announcers revealed a crucial, but for the most part overlooked detail, like the hint provided in the introductory paragraph, that had culminated into making the Bills “lag” on the field. 

“They left on Friday,” the announcer had mentioned, and that explains everything. “They are jetlagged,” the Buffaloes flew five time zones to London and “should be fired”, Simpson deduced. It was a terrible decision on the part of the management since the jetlag was a principal reason behind the players being unable to perform their usual best.

“We Do Not Care”: After Battling From Near Fatal Incident, 25-Year-Old Damar Hamlin Came Back After 150 Days to an Underwhelmed Welcome

Jetlag affects anyone taking a flight for over two hours, and the resulting effect similar to fatigue and exhaustion can last up to two days or more depending on the hours of travel. Traveling for over five hours to London had disastrous results on the Bills players and Simpson was of the opinion that whoever took the decision to fly in the Bills so close to the matchday should definitely be “fired.”

Well, not all maybe, since one of the Bills’ stars was spotted smashing tablets instead of balls. 

Bills’ star smashes a tablet 

Buffalo Bills standout Stefon Diggs displayed enraged frustration in the closing moments of Sunday’s 25-20 loss to the Jacksonville Jaguars in London by smashing a tablet in fury. Despite having eight receptions for 121 yards and one touchdown against Jacksonville, the 29-year-old wide receiver couldn’t aid Buffalo in mounting a fourth-quarter comeback to secure a victory from the clutches of defeat.

When tension mounted at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium, Diggs vented his frustration while seated on the bench by smashing a tablet against his before hurling it to the ground. However, Diggs’ tablet throwing seems to be the least of the team’s concerns which took a more severe blow to its defence with the loss of linebacker Matt Milano to a knee injury.

The Bills are up against their New York rivals, the Giants, on the 16th of October, which might allow them some room to build up momentum, provided there is no other concern causing the Bulls to ‘lag’ behind this time around.
