ORCHARD PARK, N.Y. — Buffalo Bills coach Sean McDermott says his team's running attack needs to improve if the Bills are going to accomplish their goals this season.
Buffalo's running backs combined for 22 yards on nine carries in a 9-6 loss at Jacksonville last Sunday. McDermott says the problems date to last season and his team's offense has become too quarterback-dependent.
The AFC East-leading Bills have lost two of three. They will play at the New York Jets this weekend.
On Thursday, the Bills announced that defensive lineman Justin Zimmer will be out for the rest of the season.
Zimmer has been placed on injured reserve with a season-ending knee injury. According to the Buffalo Bills, the injury will require surgery.
