With all the hype surrounding the Cowboys rushing attack a season ago, it might be surprising to know that it was actually the Bills who had the league’s most prolific and effective run game a season ago. It might also be surprising to find out it wasn’t even close. Buffalo averaged 5.15 yards per carry on designed runs last year. The difference between the Bills and the second-place Cowboys is the same as the difference between the Cowboys and the ninth-place Steelers.
The Bills did what they did with the league’s most unique run schemes that were specifically designed to utilize LeSean McCoy and Tyrod Taylor’s skill sets to keep defenses off balance.
