I could definitely see Samuel getting hot at the right time and breaking off another big play. It feels like he's finally healthy and getting in a groove with Josh.

Offensive Side of the Ball: Amari Cooper and/or Keon Coleman. Last week was about matchups in the middle of the field, this time the matchups are there for Cooper and Coleman to make big plays happen and keep Buffalo scoring. Defensive Side of the Ball: Ed Oliver or Terrell Bernard. We aren't gonna slow down Lamar and Henry a ton, but the DL is really the key to keeping pressure on and throwing Lamar off rhythm. If Ed can lead the charge for the DL and avoid getting blown off the ball, I think the Bills have a much better chance of keeping Henry at bay and keeping Lamar in their sights. I also think Bernard continues to grow as a defensive leader and helps sure up the middle of the field defense by fitting the run, occasionally blitzing, and covering the TE's.

Agreed! I feel like that's been the Bills blueprint and evolution this season that we're seeing come into full form. Eat clock on offense by having a ton of options to keep drives moving, this in turn helps Josh stay efficient and still able to make Josh magic happen when the times come. Then if we can control the game and get ahead, our defense can start teeing off for negative yards and turnovers, especially once they make 2nd half adjustments. What makes things dicey is if the game script gets away from us (like it did in Week 4) and we're the ones playing catch up. Josh can keep us in any game, but the other elements become much harder to execute if we're down multiple scores. I think the boys know that though are more prepared to take it to Baltimore and not let them take over the game. it will be a tough one, but Go Bills, let's keep this train running!
