The Buffalo Bills face a tough challenge as they take on the Philadelphia Eagles today. The Eagles currently have the best record in football, with a 9-1 record. The Bills, on the other hand, have had a rocky season but showed signs of improvement in their recent win against the New York Jets.
One area where the Bills can potentially find success is through their quarterback, Josh Allen. Allen is known for his ability to run the ball, especially in important games. Despite rushing less frequently this season, he has hit a line of over 5.5 rush attempts in four of seven close games. In their previous game against the Jets, Allen ran three times in the first half alone.
The Eagles' defense has been focused on stopping opposing quarterbacks through the air, leaving room for Allen to take advantage of rushing opportunities. In fact, in the Eagles' last game against the Kansas City Chiefs, Patrick Mahomes ran six times for 38 yards. It is projected that Allen will have around seven rush attempts in today's game.
Although the Bills have a challenging road ahead in their playoff push, a win against the Eagles could be a significant step in the right direction. Will Allen and the Bills be able to defeat the Eagles and secure a much-needed victory? Stay tuned for updates on this exciting late slate of NFL games.
