RB Marshawn Lynch 1,115 yards, 7 TDs , 18 receptions will look improve on his impressive rookie year where he missed three games to an ankle injury. Look for Lynch to receive more passes out of the backfield. Pro Bowl LT Jason Peters has missed all of the preseason in a contract holdout and the Bills running game and pass protection on Edwards blind side will be in question.
