If you watched the Buffalo Bills’ offense through the first two games and thought “this is totally unfamiliar,” you were right—and not just because the team is scoring more points. In the third year of offensive coordinator Brian Daboll and Josh Allen driving the offense, the team has dramatically shifted its identity, and it’s paying off on the scoreboard.
When Daboll joined the Bills, the team had previously moved on from Rick Dennison, who implemented a run-heavy West Coast offense centered around LeSean McCoy. The first two years saw huge roster turnover and an offense that couldn’t decide if it wanted to be throwback or forward-looking.
