Bills switch to running game yields NFL top rusher Simpson
Buffalo coach Lou Saban shifted to a ground attack last season and produced the league's leading rusher O J Simpson with 1,251 yards on 292 carries. The Bills, 4-9-1, rebuilt the line with Bruce Jarvis and Irv Goode to improve pass protection for Dennis Shaw. J D Hill and Bob Chandler give the offense receiving bite while a new tight end situation forms behind retirement of Jan White. Defensively, youngsters like Bob Kampa and Karl Patton push for roles as veterans anchor the line and backfield.
