Opinion: Capaccio: Bills at Panthers: Sal's keys, notes and stats
‘The Bills have had trouble stopping the tun this season. They’re allowing the most yards per play on the ground (5.75) and over 156 yards per game, third-most in the NFL. Carolina has an excellent run game, averaging over 140 yards per contest, which is third-best in the NFL, and an 8th most 4.72 yards per run.

The Bills absolutely have to slow down the Panthers rushing attack and force them into long-yardage situations and to throw the ball.’
