The Buffalo Bills have played in the most “bad weather” (rain, snow, or 15+ mph wind) games in the NFL since the start of last season, which should lead to higher pass volume, reduced running volume, and improved pass game efficiency when facing better conditions in this game.
THE BLITZ projects Devin Singletary to be a much smaller part of his team’s rushing attack this week (35.4% projected Carry Share) than he has been since the start of last season (49.6% in games he has played).
Opposing squads have rushed for the 3rd-least yards in the NFL (just 94 per game) against the Tennessee Titans defense since the start of last season.
