Buffalo Bills RB Devin Singletary got off to a shaky start during Week 5’s game against the Baltimore Ravens, which included a fumble.
Yet he would bounce back to be a significant contributor on offense, including one pivotal play in a contest where the Bills would also comeback to win.
“That’s always tough when you have a mistake like that, but my guys were behind me,” Singletary via the Buffalo News. “We kept rallying. We knew that wasn’t us in the first half, and all we were preaching is to come out and be us in the second half and we were able to do that and get the win. All you can do is keep going and take it play-by-play. Execution fuels the team, and that brings energy, and we were able to get that going.”
Head coach Sean McDermott allowed QB Josh Allen to lead the offense in clock and game management on what would prove to be the teams game-winning drive.
While in the huddle Allen reminded Singletary to get down before the goal line, Baltimore could let him score a touchdown to give themselves a shot at a kickoff return and another offensive possession. The Bills RB did just that, allowing Allen to take two kneel-downs and Tyler Bass a game-winning field goal in the final seconds.
McDermott was impressed by the overall play of the running back in the victory.
“Very impressed. Not surprised. He does a great job resetting and sticking with it,” McDermott said to the media. “Really good football player, great intangibles and we’re happy to have him.”
“I can’t rave enough about what he is, who he is, and what he does for this team,” Allen said to the media after the game. “I urge everybody that’s watching football, if you’re a young kid, if you’re in college, whatever, you turn on Devin Singletary tape and you watch him, how he sprints to the ball, whether he’s got it or not. He’s downfield picking guys up, he’s doing everything right in practice. He’s running 50-60 yards, getting in the end zone and coming right back and running another play. The dude, all he knows is work and that’s why his name is ‘Motor’ and he lives up to the name. I can go on and on about what’s type of person he is. I freaking love the kid.”
Bills center Mitch Morse also heaped praise on Singletary and his work ethic as well.
“He’s a professional,” Morse said to the press. “Really takes pride in his work, pride in what he does for this offense and we love him for it. He’s been doing it at a high level for a very long time. It seems like when we need those big moments, he’s one of those guys that steps in.”
After the game, Singletary noted how the team practices final-play situations.
“We kept preaching to each other, ‘Let’s be us, take it play and play, and let’s try to execute,” the RB added. “When we were able to execute, you can see the energy in the game. To come out on the winning side, it feels great, and it shows that we are continuing to grow.”
