Can anyone stop the Bills' offense? Block the Vikings' defense? Plus, three disappointing units

Key Points:

• To stop the Bills' high-powered offense, opponents should focus on controlling possession time and slowing the game pace, limiting the number of offensive plays Buffalo can run and increasing the value of stops and turnovers.
• Defenses must contain Josh Allen by forcing him to operate within the pocket, closing escape lanes, and assigning defenders to monitor his running ability, especially in critical game situations.
• Shutting down the middle of the field, particularly limiting tight end Dalton Kincaid's effectiveness with bracket coverage or a robber safety, forces the Bills to rely on less dominant receivers on the perimeter.
• To survive the Vikings' aggressive defense, offenses should use quick passes, screens, and a steady running game to stay on schedule and avoid third-down blitz pressure.
• Opponents must also employ a faster tempo to disrupt Minnesota’s complex pre-snap disguises and take deep shots downfield to punish the Vikings' heavy blitz strategy and prevent defenders from focusing solely on short routes.
