It has not even been a full year since Tom Brady left the New England Patriots. Now, the team’s grip on the AFC East has since appeared to finally loosen. In 2020, that race is between the Miami Dolphins and Buffalo Bills.

Like the Giants and Washington Football Team, the Bills are going to play meaningful and must-win football games down the stretch here. Meaning, there should be no worry about the team mailing one in and sitting starters in Week 15 when Buffalo plays the Denver Broncos on the road.

Buffalo has somewhat changed their offensive identity. In the past, the team seemed to lean on the run more as they tried to keep Josh Allen in manageable situations. That method is somewhat still true, but Allen has stepped up and the Bills have been one of the best passing offenses in the NFL.

Although, in this game in Denver, as the games grow in importance and as the weather gets colder, expect that run game to be used more. Meaning, Zack Moss may hear his number called more often.

Denver has done well against the run, and when you look at Moss’ numbers you do not see anything that spectacular. What you do see though is touchdown potential. Although, he needs to protect the ball better to see increased reps.

No, Moss does not have a drastic number of scores. However, he seems to be the guy who is called upon to punch it into the end zone over fellow back Devin Singletary.

In the redzone the team might want to limit Allen’s pass attempts. Moss could be that physical short-yardage and goal-line package back who has his day bolstered by a touchdown or two.
