Since our turnaround Mac Jones has got a lot of good press (deservedly so), so has our D, (deservedly so), our coaches (deservedly so)…..but let’s give some love to our o-line!

In my opinion on O the biggest part of the win streak has been the resurgence of our O-line. We are a devastating running team. Teams do not want to see our 3 headed backfield coming at them with that line opening holes. A damn thing of beauty. Props to the TEs, WRs, and of J. Johnson for their blocking as well. 2 months ago we were screaming at them, now they are playing better then any line in the league.
 
 
Buffalo entered the game something like 7th in rushing yards allowed per game.

Typically, Belichick wins game by exploiting an opponent's weakness. This time, he had to win by testing the limits of their strength.
 
I’ve said before, Karras’ role in stabilizing the line has been clutch.
Karras's good play inside enables the ultimate weapon of 350 pound TE Michael Onwenu just crushing people at either the end of the line, often lined up beside 380 pound Trent Brown. Both are unusually agile for that size, creating matchups that simply cannot be defeated by any DL. And now that Brown is fully back in the saddle, together with Mac's maturation with play action and getting us into the right play, our remaining opponents are in trouble a-la the 2018/19 SB run.
 
Wynn has really turned things around after a terrible start. Glad Brown came back.
 
I say this as a Georgia Tech alum: this must have been serious deja vu for Shaq. Three passes and the rest running the ball down their throat? Bring back the triple option!

"But But But Karras can't play LG and can't pull as a guard"! - Fake expert idiots here.

And 3 is even a new record for him, because the lowest I see during his Georgia Tech career is 4. Mason’s team beat Stefon Diggs’ team in that one too, nine years ago.
 
The play of our offensive line is the single biggest reason for our turn around from 2-4 to 9-4!

Those two next to Shaq Mason makes for some fun smash mouth football. Then followed by Johnson and Stevenson or Harris and that’s almost football porn.

Against the Bills using a sixth OL not only as a short yardage frill but as a main weapon gives teams something else they need to prepare for. Another weapon in Josh's arsenal.
