Bills & Sabres: New Plans for 2026‑27

Buffalo’s Football Strategy

• Running backs as pass‑catchers: The Bills plan to lean on their backfield’s versatility, hoping the skill sets of players like James Cook—who topped the league in rushing last season—will unlock Josh Allen’s full potential.
• Why it matters: By integrating backs into more passing roles, the offense gains an extra dimension that could keep defenses guessing and elevate the team’s offensive output.
