NFL’s best offense

As prior referenced briefly, the Cowboys have the NFL’s best passing offense. That’s helped them mold into the No. 1 offense overall in recent weeks, too. Slighting edging out the Baltimore Ravens by .1 yard, Dallas’ overall offense averages an NFL-best 433.3 yards per game.

It’ll be a tough test for the third-best overall defense and passing defense the Bills sport. And the advantage might spill over to the Bills in one sense.

Buffalo was struggling against the run a few weeks back. Now in back-to-back games, the Bills have shutdown opposing running backs. Last week the Bills entered their meeting with the Broncos as the No. 19 run defense and now they’re up to No. 14, allowing 104.4 yards per game on average.

That, plus recent struggles from Ezekiel Elliot could help the Bills. He’s only averaged 2.4, 2.8 and 4.1 yards per carry over his past three games. He hasn’t surpassed 100 yards since facing the 2-9 Giants in Week 9.

Is he due? Or his he cold? The Bills will have their chance to prove it’s chilly out in Dallas.
