Run Defense

On Monday, defensive coordinator Leslie Frazier admitted during his press conference that the Buffalo Bills went into their Week 6 matchup focused on limiting what Patrick Mahomes could do through the air.

Leslie Frazier on the last meeting with the Chiefs: "We went into it with that mindset, said ok they're not gonna beat us over the top. We're gonna dare them to stay with the run game & they had a lot of success running the ball. We learned a lot from that ball game."

They certainly did a good job of limiting Mahomes as he only had 225 passing yards, which was one of his lowest game totals of the season. However, the Chiefs didn’t need much from their quarterback as the run game picked the defense apart with rookie Clyde Edwards-Helaire running for 161 yards and the Chiefs as a team running for 245 yards.

This week, the Buffalo Bills need to still make their top priority limiting what Patrick Mahomes can do throwing the ball but need to have a better gameplan of stopping the run.
