5.) Buffalo Bills RBs vs. Chiefs’ run defense

In their last seven games, Kansas City is giving up 127 rushing yards per game, and have only had two games this season where they did not give up more than 100 rushing yards in a game. In that seven game stretch, the Chiefs have gone 4-3. In addition, they have given up more than 120 rushing yards in four games out of the seven. This should be eye opening for Joe Brady and the Bills’ offense. 

In their last three games, the Bills have averaged 165 yards against the Broncos, Jets and the Eagles. The mixture of James Cook, Latavius Murray, and now Ty Johnson who has explosiveness like Cook and physicality of Murray, has been great for the run game. Even though the Chiefs’ defense has vastly improved from last year, the run attack is shaky and with the way the Bills have looked under Brady the last two games, this should be a field day for the Bills’ rushing attack.
