The Buffalo Bills ended up winning by eight points, but seven of those points never should have gotten on the scoreboard like they did. Marcus Thigpen took back a 75-yard touchdown off of a punt return, and that was the first touchdown of the game. Green Bay’s special teams have been very solid all season long, but today was something that was very concerning to see.

Green Bay will need to get their special teams back to playing at a high level as the postseason begins to approach. Needless to say, it was a key play in this game and the Packers can’t allow that to happen again moving forward.
