The Buffalo Bills have struggled to get big plays from their wide receivers this year, at least up until WR Deonte Thompson was signed. Thompson was signed on the Tuesday prior to the game, and his knowledge of offensive coordinator Rick Dennison‘s system not only garnered him playing time, but also made him the X-factor the Bills needed to win.Thompson finished the game with four catches for 104 yards, but the 44 yard bomb from Taylor may have been the most crucial. The Bills were down seven points with 3:14 left on the clock. In the stadium you could feel the anxiety and disbelief. Quarterback Tyrod Taylor down seven points at the end of the game — not a shot, right?That was until a great play call was sent in by Dennison, one that was not only designed well, but also one that fit Taylor’s skill set and stole the momentum right back from Tampa Bay, who had just scored.This Bills team is often pegged as a run first team, and with LeSean McCoy in the backfield you can see why. But Dennison has done a good job using that notion to his advantage. Instead of just handing it off to McCoy, he has called a lot of explosive plays on first downs. Typically, he has called passes off of play action fakes, but not this time. On this first down, he sends out a trips formation to the field with Zay Jones wide, Jordan Matthews in the slot, and Deonte Thompson as the innermost receiver. Dennison calls a post/wheel combination that is often the kryptonite of a single-high defensive look.Jones is running the skinny post, Matthews a flat route, and then Thompson a wheel route up the sideline.
