Penalty Recap: Buffalo Bills hit for way more yardage than Jacksonville Jaguars

The Buffalo Bills lost a close game to the Jacksonville Jaguars on Sunday. With neither team exactly pulling ahead of the other at any point, it was a contest of inches. We ask the age old question, “did an inch or two of penalties impact the outcome of the game?”
