The Buffalo Bills have relied on “steady” players at running back for a few years now. What I mean by that is this: the team tends to prioritize players who won’t lose yardage on a given carry over a player who might break a big gain. Essentially, the team seems to want players who consistently move forward, even incrementally, over players who seek the big play and, in the process, may end up with a few runs that keep the team behind the chains.
Throughout that time, the Bills have lacked a true game-breaker at running back, especially as it relates to the passing game.
