ORCHARD PARK, N.Y. (AP) – The Buffalo Bills fired offensive coordinator Greg Roman on Friday in a bid to kick start their sputtering Tyrod Taylor-led attack.
The team announced the move in an email released a day after Buffalo fell to 0-2 following a 37-31 loss to the New York Jets. Coach Rex Ryan is scheduled to address the media later in the afternoon.
Roman was in his second season as coordinator, and was hired by Ryan when he took over the team in January 2015.
Running backs coach Anthony Lynn will take over as coordinator. Lynn also serves as an assistant head coach and has spent the past eight years working under Ryan.
The Bills’ offense is off to a sputtering start. It managed just 160 yards – Buffalo’s lowest total in a decade – in a season-opening 13-7 loss at Baltimore on Sunday. Against the Jets, the Bills had 307 yards offense, with more than half that coming on two plays: Taylor’s 84-yard touchdown pass to Marquise Goodwin and a 74-yard TD pass to Greg Salas.
