Buffalo Bills run game succeeded thanks to New England Patriots personnel choices

It was great to see the Buffalo Bills’ running game get back on track against the New England Patriots. It was by far their most rushing yards of the season, clocking in at 190 on the ground, with 167 yards coming from the running back position. Great news for the Bills, right? Maybe not.

Ben Volin of The Boston Globe notes that the Patriots ran six defensive backs for “pretty much the entire game.” Four players in the secondary played 100% of the snaps, another played 98%, and the sixth played 93%.
