Offense
The Bills’ offense is perfect for players who like to mix two HBs into their game plan. If you can commit to running the ball and keeping your backs fresh, you will have great success.
Key Formation
Buffalo has an excellent formation with the Dbls Wing Offset Wk. This allows you to run inside or outside to set up quick throws to the edge. Use this formation to get your fastest playmakers a mismatch on the outside.
