‘“This is a high-powered offense, a top-five offense in our league,” Bills defensive coordinator Leslie Frazier said. “They’ve been a No. 1 offense in our league. So they definitely present challenges for any defense with a quarterback of the caliber of Patrick and the weapons that he has. Not just Travis (Kelce) and Tyreek (Hill), there are weapons galore, and just watching what (Jerick) McKinnon did last (week), that’s another weapon for the offense. … We’ll have to really be on top of our game to try to slow them down. They are a really good offense for a reason.”’
