Buffalo Bills finish with more than 175 rushing yards

The Buffalo Bills run game has been surprisingly effective through the first two games, led by Devin Singletary. The third-year running back has 154 rushing yards through the first two games, which is an increase of 35 yards per game over last year’s average.

Zack Moss returned in Week 2 and scored two touchdowns, both close to the goal line, and is forcing defenders to make business decisions with the way he is running.

However, the player who may be the most effective running the ball in Week 3 is quarterback Josh Allen. The team hasn’t had to ask Allen to run much over the past year but that threat is always there. Meanwhile, Washington struggled last week to contain Daniel Jones when he would scramble and he finished the game with 95 rushing yards.

It wouldn’t be surprising to see Josh Allen finish with over 75 rushing yards with Devin Singletary and Zack Moss adding in the rest for the team to finish over 175 rushing yards in Week 3.
