How Bills defense plans to stop Dak Prescott, No. 1-ranked Cowboys offense
‘“Obviously he’s the general of that offense. He makes that offense go,” Hyde said. “When they got the run game going and they can get the play action, drop back game going, they’re hard to beat. Obviously (our focus is on) stopping the run, making them one dimensional and putting them in passing situations on third and long. (Even then) They’re still pretty good at that because Dak’s an elite quarterback in this league. It’s going to be a challenge for us.”’

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. The Bills are ranked 20th in net yards per pass (6.0) this season, up from 31st of the 32 teams last year at 5.2. Though that does not seem impressive, it suggests that even a modest improvement can make a considerable difference in a won-lost record.’

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.’
