The Bills are entering the upcoming NFL season with some hope and real optimism in terms of their backfield with Devin Singletary and Zack Moss. But as an entire division, the AFC East was recently named the worst grouping of backfield in the entire league by CBS Sports.
In regard to the Bills’ running back duo, here’s what was said:
Singletary looked good in limited action last season and seemed like he should have become the full-time back, but it’s clear the Bills don’t want to make him a true feature guy. Moss should prove to be a nice complement, given his size and pass-catching ability.
The entire AFC East is broken down here, but in terms of the Bills’ duo, it’s truthfully not the worst assessment. As mentioned, Buffalo has hope and optimism in Western New York about their duo. But that doesn’t mean they have proven much. Combined, they have 775 rushing yards between them, all of which came from Singletary’s lone pro season. Not only does Singletary have to show he can do it again, Moss has to show he can… period.
In terms of the other teams in the AFC East, the Jets do have Le’Veon Bell, but because of offensive line play, he’s been mainly ineffective since jumped over from his Steelers holdout. CBS Sports then actually predicts Cam Newton as the Pats’ best rusher, which is not a good start for them on such a list, while the Dolphins’ pair of Jordan Howard and Matt Bredia has potential, but essentially has to prove it as well.
Overall, it’s hard to argue which division was named the best in the NFL: the NFC East. When you’ve got Ezekiel Elliot and Saquon Barkley headlining a group, it’s hard to argue.
