Bills deployed 13-personnel heavily in Week 1, signaling a personnel shift
Buffalo used three-tight-end (13) personnel at an unusually high rate in Week 1, placing that grouping on the field for roughly 37–40% of offensive snaps. That usage — far above the team's 2025 rate — suggests Joe Brady plans to leverage multiple tight ends (Dalton Kincaid, Dawson Knox, Jackson Hawes) as a structural element of the offense moving forward.
