The Bills made a big change on offense last week, but it hasn’t yielded a big change in the offense yet.
Their first drive under new offensive coordinator Anthony Lynn ended up in a fourth-and-25 punt, but the Bills began to make plays on the ground shortly thereafter.
They had to settle for a field goal and an early 3-0 lead on the Cardinals, but there were a few plays scattered in there as well.
The big one was a 49-yard scramble by quarterback Tyrod Taylor, which as it turns out is the longest run by a Bills quarterback in team history. That a 41-yard ramble by the elusive Joe Ferguson in 1977 was the previous record is the surprising part.
The Bills have also held the Cardinals to a pair of three-and-outs to start the game, a sluggish start for an offense that had high expectations this year.
