‘Patterson is one of the best dual threats in the game, totaling 579 yards rushing and 523 yards receiving so far in 2021. His former teammate, Bills’ receiver Stefon Diggs, said he’s one of the best players he’s ever seen with the ball in his hands. He can do everything. The Bills can’t just focus in on him as a runner when he’s lined up in the backfield and always be aware of his ability to catch the ball, regardless of down and distance.’

‘The Bills offense is good enough in a lot of different ways to exploit what Atlanta doesn’t have on defense even without Josh Allen having all day to throw. Unless the weather becomes some sort of factor, there is little reason for the Bills to run the ball much. Just let Allen drop back, take his time getting to whatever read eventually becomes open and play pitch and catch for 60 minutes.
