Buffalo Bills running backs James Cook and Devin Singletary ran the ball extremely effectively against the New England Patriots. The two Bills running backs rushed for 4.5 yards per carry on 16 attempts. Let’s take a look at what made the combination of Cook and Singletary so effective in Week 18.

At the snap, quarterback Josh Allen went play action with Cook from the gun. Right tackle Spencer Brown blocked edge rusher Matthew Judon out of the play (to the point where he pancaked him to the ground). Buffalo’s center and right guard double-teamed the defensive tackle off the ball.
