Bills Could Be Destined for Record-Breaking Season in Many Ways

Writer Russell Baxter highlights that the 5-1 Buffalo Bills are experiencing an extreme season statistically on both sides of the ball. Led by quarterback Josh Allen and running back James Cook, Buffalo leads the NFL with 32.8 points per game and has scored 23 touchdowns through six contests. Following a New England Patriots loss, head coach Joe Brady's team holds the top spot in the AFC East standings.

However, Baxter notes that defensive coordinator Jim Leonhard's unit is allowing 28.5 points per contest, threatening the franchise record of 454 points conceded set in 1984. With Bills games averaging a combined 61.3 points each week, Baxter argues that the defense must find answers if Buffalo hopes to make a serious run toward winning Super Bowl LXI.
