The Buffalo Bills’ offense is off to a great start to the year and currently has the third-highest yards per game average (413.5) and has averaged the most points per game (36) in the NFL.

The Bills will likely need another big performance from this group as the team on the other side of the field, the Miami Dolphins offense has been equally as impressive with the second-most yards per game average (427) and the fourth most points per game (31).

When looking ahead to this game, these are four players on the offensive side of the ball that could be in line for big games against the Miami Dolphins and should be key contributors.

Josh Allen

Josh Allen is always an important part of the offense, for obvious reasons, but this week in particular the Buffalo Bills may need a little more from him. The defense is dealing with a ton of injuries and may not be able to play at the same level they have through the first two weeks of the season.

The good news is that Josh Allen has shown he can take games over and put the team on his shoulders. In particular, he has had great games against the Miami Dolphins and has won AFC Offensive Player of the Week on a couple of occasions after games against the Dolphins.

Allen currently is tied for the league lead in passing touchdowns with seven and is averaging over 300 passing yards per game.

One thing in particular to watch this week is if the Bills quarterback runs more this week. In Week 2, he had only one rushing attempt but after Lamar Jackson ran for over 100 yards against the Dolphins last week, this could be a mismatch that the coaching staff tries to capitalize on.
