2. A tale of two mobile quarterbacks
Every recent NFL Draft brings at least one new mobile quarterback to the league. Seahawks quarterback Russell Wilson was one of the first in this new wave of dual threat quarterbacks the NFL is experiencing. Second-year Arizona quarterback Kyler Murray is one of the newest quarterbacks in the league who poses as a threat on the ground and in the air. The Bills are set to face their third-straight quarterback who can do damage with their ability to run the football (Cam Newton in Week 8, Wilson in Week 9).
Murray currently leads the NFL in quarterback rushing yards with 543 and rushing touchdowns with eight. Murray is one yard away from tying his rushing yards total from his rookie season. Since 2019, Murray has 1,087 rushing yards and 12 rushing touchdowns, while Bills quarterback Josh Allen has 751 rushing yards and 14 rushing touchdowns.
Allen hasn't had to stack up rushing yards as much in his third season, but that doesn't mean the defense won't respect his legs. Allen has been able to rely on his added pass-catching weapons, which has made for less yards on the ground from him. He still ranks high among quarterbacks ranking sixth with 241 rushing yards. Allen has had 14 games in his career with a rushing and passing touchdown, which is a new franchise record.
Defensive coordinator Leslie Frazier said even though they've faced quarterbacks that like to run, Arizona's offense and Murray are much different.
"The fact that it's so different than what you face on a normal basis — the tempo, how fast they're going, the style of offense, running the quarterback as much as they do, you don't see that week in and week out," Frazier said. "You have to prepare a little bit differently than you would for most NFL offenses. That'll be the challenge for us in our preparation as we get ready for the game. Can we simulate the speed of their offense and also some of the things they do with the quarterback run game? If we can get that handled in practice, helping us with our preparation, that'll help us on Sunday as well."
