Running backs: B
Both running backs, Devin Singletary and Frank Gore were utilized plenty throughout the game. The two had 36 carries and combined for 171 yards. The weather at New Era Field wasn’t suitable for the passing attack, so the two backs needed to deliver and they did.
Rookie Devin Singletary got the start for Buffalo and had 21 carries for 106 yards, an average of 5.0 yards per carry. This was the first time that Singletary went over 100 yards in his career. Bills fans will want to see more of these performances from the rookie throughout the rest of the season.
Frank Gore had 15 carries for 65 yards, an average of 4.3 yards per carry. This was the best performance he has had in the last four weeks. It was during the fourth quarter though that Frank Gore reached 15,224 career yards, putting him third all time in NFL rushing yards.
The two backs didn’t contribute much in the passing game, Singletary had just one catch for eight yards. The two created were the work horses for Buffalo, and helped create much needed balance for Buffalo’s offense.
