Buffalo Bills Links, 11/18: Why fixing the ground game is top priority

Plus, did the Bills fall far in the NFL power rankings?

In today’s edition of the Buffalo Bills daily links, we address the Bills’ most pressing area of concern heading into their bye week: fixing the running game, which has yet to get on track despite the presence of talented running backs Devin Singletary and Zack Moss.

While the Hail Mary loss to the Arizona Cardinals hurts, we discuss why it feels different than many of the past heartbreaking losses in franchise history, we check in to see where the Bills (7-3) find themselves in the NFL’s latest power rankings, we heap praise on wide receiver Cole Beasley, who is enjoying a breakout campaign, revisit a Hail Mary pass that worked out in Buffalo’s favor, learn how Cardinals fans showed their generosity by making donations to honor Josh Allen’s late grandmother, and much more.
