The Buffalo Bills have increased their early-down passing frequency to over 55% through two games this season, ranking eighth in the NFL. This marks a significant change from their 20th-place finish last year, reflecting a shift from a ground-game-centric approach. In Week 2, the Bills maintained a lead against the Lions but were reminded that no lead is secure in the current NFL. Josh Allen's performance as quarterback is crucial to sustaining this trend. Regular updates on this offensive strategy will be provided throughout the season.
