The Buffalo Bills' offense is a run-first unit with Pro Bowler James Cook leading the way.

Coming off a stirring come-from-behind win over the New England Patriots, the Bills now have eyes on the division with three games left in the season.

And a big part of the win was the trio of running backs in Cook, Ray Davis, and Ty Johnson.

All three played their roles as Cook rushed for 107 yards and two touchdowns, Davis was superb on special teams, and Johnson saw his biggest value as a receiver, helping ice the game late.

For offensive coordinator Joe Brady, getting all three the ball on Sunday is a tough thing to do.

“It is a tough balance, it's a great problem to have with the running back room that we have,” Brady said. “It's been a lot of fun seeing Ray Davis get going at the kick return position, but the way that Jimbo's playing, it's a tough room to get out on the football field. We're trying to continue to find different ways to get both of those guys out on the field at the same time.”

Can Bills win the AFC East?

Just one game behind the Patriots with three games left, it isn't out of the question, but it is tough.

The Bills would need to win their remaining three games, and the Patriots stumble badly for Buffalo to be division champs.

With the Baltimore Ravens, New York Jets, and Miami Dolphins left on the schedule, New England would need to lose at least two of those games, while Buffalo would need to win out.

It can be done, but even after Sunday's win, it does feel like the Bills are delaying the inevitable.

Still with a shot as we enter Week 16, sometimes that's all you need, and who knows how the Patriots will deal with the pressure of the Bills breathing down their neck.
