The Buffalo Bills offensive line has left a bit to be desired heading into their bye week.
Pro Football Focus has reflected that in their latest team-by-team rankings. Through six games and heading into the bye, the Bills landed at the No. 22 overall spot.
PFF makes some strong points regarding the struggles the team has had rushing the ball. However, there is reason for optimism.
Over the last two games combined, the Bills have essentially turned the running back position over to Devin Singletary. He has averaged six yards per carry in those games combined. The O-line is a big reason for that.
Still, the football analytics outlet was a bit tough. Here’s PFF’s breakdown on Buffalo’s offensive line:
