The Secret to the Bills’ Playoff Hopes? A Dash of Offense
‘The big difference appears to be that their offensive numbers have jumped to merely below average.

Bills at Cowboys: Sal’s keys, notes and stats
‘After showing plenty of cracks in their run defense over a three-game stretch, the Bills have done a good job of turning that back around, holding the Dolphins and Broncos to a combined 108 yards on the ground. But now they’ll be tested by a Cowboys team that ranks 8th in rushing yards per game (129.8) and 9th per play (4.59). Dallas running back Ezekiel Elliott is 7th in the NFL so far this season with 919 yards rushing. If the Cowboys get their ground game going it will only make it much more difficult to stop the No. 1 passing offense in the NFL, led by QB Dak Prescott, who leads the league with 3,433 passing yards already.’
