The Buffalo Bills leaned heavily on the running game during the second half of the 2023 NFL season. Perhaps that was dictated by the weather, as the Bills played two-thirds of their final nine games in the Northeast or in colder climates. More likely, though, it was due to a shift in philosophy with then-interim, and now permanent, offensive coordinator Joe Brady at the helm.
Brady seems poised to bring a more balanced attack to the Bills, one that doesn’t neuter All-World quarterback Josh Allen, but one that also doesn’t require Allen to don a red cape each week in order for the Bills to win.
