Maldonado: Atlanta's discourtesy tin determination the shot but struggles to decorativeness drives, ranking adjacent the bottommost of the league successful touchdown complaint per possession. It's measurement without payoff. Buffalo's defense, adjacent with injuries, remains apical 10 successful hostile yards per play and red-zone stops. On the different side, Atlanta's zone-heavy defence limits explosive passes and forces opponents to play diligent football. We conscionable saw Buffalo grind done that benignant of crippled against New England. If that happens again, expect much James Cook touches and designed runs for Josh Allen with less heavy shots. Both offenses tin drawstring drives together, but neither plays accelerated oregon finishes efficiently capable to sail the over.
