When it comes to explosive plays in the run game, rarely is it the running back doing it all. There’s multiple ingredients to something like Jaylen Warren’s 62-yard rushing score. The line has the to create the initial hole. The back has to find it. And often, there is downfield blocking from tight ends and wide receivers that help spring the back into space, turning a good run into a great one. Or for Warren, into a touchdown.
Wide receiver Diontae Johnson threw the key block on the Buffalo Bills’ corner last night, taking him out of the picture, and leaving Warren 1v1 on the safety, who he outran down the left sideline and into the end zone.
