2016 NFL Power Rankings Week 2: Los Angeles Rams Edition
By Dan Parzych
25. Buffalo Bills (22)
In a game that turned out to be quite the defensive battle, the Buffalo Bills ended up on the losing side against the Baltimore Ravens after scoring just seven points in the 13-7 loss.
What’s even more frustrating for the Bills is their only touchdown allowed came on a 66-yard catch by wide receiver Mike Wallace in the second quarter on a beautiful pass thrown by Joe Flacco. If the Bills are going to have any chance at competing in the AFC East with the New England Patriots this year, the defense is going to play at a high level like they did against the Ravens.
As for the offense, Buffalo is going to need more help in the ground game. While LeSean McCoy recorded just 58 rushing yards with a touchdown on 16 carries, Reggie Bush was a big disappointing in his regular-season debut by finishing with negative rushing yards.
If Bush has any intention of playing a key role in the Bills’ offense, these kind of performances can’t happen again.
