Imagine if you had two Travis Kelces on the field, that would be insane. When you've got two of those you've got extra rest time for one of them, if they can pretty much replace one another seamlessly that would be such an advantage. You look at Lee Smith who was more your wide-blocking body, and Dawson was more your F-style in terms of running routes. I also think it's also great for Dawson Knox, all the pressure isn't just on him whereas before now there hasn't really been another top tier tight end for the Bills. He's a safe pair of hands and a safe body for Josh to get into. Now if those are the only two running backs you're really using it's much easier for a defense to try and defend that because they're not too different in terms of style of play. Nyheim Hines returns the opening kick-off to score for the Buffalo Bills against the New England Patriots.īut you lose him and think 'right, that pressure is back on James Cook and Devin Singletary to carry the rock'. It's a shame that at the beginning of the season Nyheim Hines had that injury, and you think about how they had just brought him in at the end of last year and thought he would be a big guy whether it's from a return point of view or running back. James Cook can be so explosive, and we've seen at times him having great breakout plays. Being in pass protection is exhausting so being able to change that up. When you look at it from Josh's point of view as well, it gives him a little bit of a breather, it gives the lineman a bit of a breather. But he is the leader, so when things get tough he will step up, but protecting him a little bit more is key. Ultimately, Josh Allen can't be the guy that has to do it all, you can't be relying on him to put the team on his shoulders every drive. I think the run game, that's something that has been talked about for the last couple of years, finding that explosive running back especially when that's something coach Sean McDermott lives by so much in that you live and die by your run game. The Patriots drop to 6-6 on the year after their second straight loss and are currently on the outside of the Wild Card picture.Gabe Davis believes that Buffalo Bills' team-mate Damar Hamlin's recovery has been a blessing from God and bonded the squad closer together. The 9-3 Bills are keeping pace with the rest of the top teams in the AFC, but still trail the 9-2 Kansas City Chiefs, and with the win tonight they take the momentary lead in the AFC East. Buffalo chasing KCĭevin Singletary and the Bills run game was rewarded with a fourth quarter touchdown to seal the game on a night in which the Bills ran the ball 37 times for a total of 132 yards. The Patriots could barley move the ball against he Bills’ stingy defense who forced five punts in six possessions after allowing the early touchdown. Scrambling right, and running out of room on the sideline, Allen waited until the last moment to release a pass to Gabe Davis in the back of the end zone to extend the lead to 14-3.įrom there the Buffalo defense, who will be without Von Miller for at least the next three weeks, took over. The next touchdown can be chalked up to the Bills quarterbacks’ brilliance. Their first trip to the end zone came on the opening play of the second quarter when Stefon Diggs caught a perfectly placed 8 yard pass from Josh Allen in the corner of the end zone. The joy was short lived, as Buffalo took command of the game by scoring touchdowns on their next two drives. Miller Place on IR, out at least four weeks The Bills scored a field goal on their opening drive to get the night going, but New England answered back with a spectacular play from the lightening quick Marcus Jones who broke a pass to the flat for 48 yards to give the Pats their first and only lead of the game. Sean McDermott’s team ran 21 more plays than the Patriots did and while beating up a New England team that has an eye on a Wild Card spot. We are used to Allen throw for 300+ yards and the offense light up the scoreboard, but on Thursday the Bills controlled the clock and kept the Patriots defense on the field for nearly 40 minutes. While the offense stats may now have been eye popping, the Bills had a firm grasp on the game from the very beginning thanks to a balanced mix of the pass and run game as the defense locked down the Patriots offense. Since their two game losing skid in November, we had not seen Buffalo dominate a game like we grew accustomed to seeing at the beginning of the year. Josh Allen passed for 223 yards and two touchdowns in the Bills 24-10 victory from Gillette Stadium. The Buffalo Bills midseason losing skid seems ages away after rattling off three straight wins including their dominant display against the New England Patriots on Thursday Night.
