What to Expect Out of the Bills Backfield

The Bills’ rushing attack will be different this season both physically and philosophically.

Physically, Devin Singletary — the team’s leading rusher every year since he was drafted in 2019 — left for the Texans in free agency. And philosophically, Josh Allen — Buffalo’s second-leading rusher over that same stretch — has been asked by general manager Brandon Beane to dial back his aggressive play style.

In response, the front office added Damien Harris and Latavius Murray to the running back room a year after adding James Cook in the draft and months after trading for Nyheim Hines. None of these moves came at a particularly high cost — this offense is centered around the passing attack, after all — but they are important considering the number of opportunities Singletary’s departure opens up in addition to the possibility that Allen heeds Beane’s words.
