The Bills will look to keep their winning-ways moving forward in Week 12 as Buffalo hosts the Denver Broncos at New Era Field.
While entering the game at a better 7-3 record, the 3-7 Broncos will present plenty of challenges to the Bills.
With that, here are five storylines to watch unfold during the Bills’ meeting with the Broncos:
Is the run defense actually back?
The Bills run defense has been more than suspect this season. Allowing 106.3 yards per game on the ground, Buffalo’s run defense is the 18th best group of run defenders in the NFL. Last week against the Dolphins, the Bills actually got the job done, though.
Starting running back Kalen Ballage had a score, but he only mustered up nine yards on nine carries. But you can’t bring that money to the bank. Buffalo’s offense got the job done and forced the Dolphins offense to abandon the rushing attack early. Plus, it’s the Dolphins. Despite entering Week 11 on a two-game winning streak, that’s not a good team. Shutting down the Broncos’ attack with Phillip Lindsay and Royce Freeman is going to be a much more difficult task.
Phillip Lindsay's speed off the cut is dangerous 😡😡 @I_CU_boy pic.twitter.com/6wOnOOBCfo
