The Buffalo Bills offense has been humming like a finely tuned machine over the last five weeks, scoring at least 30 points in each game during that stretch.
With offensive coordinator Joe Brady's "everybody eats" mentality powering the Bills to having the third-highest scoring unit in football (29.1 p/g), there are weapons everywhere you look.
One weapon that has been getting more work of late thanks to the injury to Dalton Kincaid is fellow tight end Dawson Knox.
The Pro Bowler has put together a good fortnight of production in Kincaid's absence, and Brady knows how big it is to have Knox step up in the way he has.
“It's huge, Dawson Knox is a Pro Bowl player, and unfortunately, we got a lot of people, it's hard to get the ball spread around to everybody,” Brady said. “He's the most unselfish player on our football team, and when his opportunities comes, he's making the most of it. He's doing an incredible job in the run game, he brings so much value to us and obviously, what happened with Dalton [Kincaid], but just seeing him go in there and not blink, it's always good to see Dawson rolling.”
Prior to Kincaid's injury, Knox had just one game of over 23 yards, and that was against the Seattle Seahawks (50 receiving yards).
But stepping in for Kincaid over the last two games, Knox has posted back-to-back games of 40 receiving yards, with the Pro Bowler picking up the slack for the offense.
The team's mentality of not fussing about who gets the targets and how many means they only care about wins. This has pushed the Bills to a 9-2 record and put them in a good position to strike as the AFC's No. 1 seed.
And Knox is doing his part for the cause.
