Rivers is going to have to play a clean game, no turnovers, and he's going to have to be efficient, meaning his avg yds/att has to be at least league average (7yds/att) or better. Their run game should do a little better than their average, because BUF doesn't defend the run well, as we know.

And their defense will have to play at least to their average. In their favor, BUF doesn't run the ball very well, so they shouldn't have to commit extra resources stopping that, and they can concentrate their players and scheme to stopping Allen.

But if Rivers has a below-average game, nothing their defense does will matter that much.

He's right.

For all of their investment on the line, they're not good run blockers. One of the best pass blocking units in the game but just mediocre at run blocking. Their running game is largely volume, not quality.
