The Buffalo Bills have made a coordinator change, hoping it will give their sputtering offence a jolt.

The Bills announced on Tuesday that they've fired offensive coordinator Ken Dorsey. He has been replaced on an interim basis by second-year quarterbacks coach Joe Brady.

The staffing change came the morning after Buffalo turned the ball over four times in a 24-22 loss to the Denver Broncos.

Monday's defeat marked the Bills' second straight loss and fourth in six games as the three-time defending AFC East champions dropped to 5-5 and 1 1/2 games behind the first-place Miami Dolphins.

 

Dorsey was in his second season as Buffalo's offensive coordinator after serving as the team's quarterbacks coach since 2019.

The Bills were second in the NFL in scoring last season with an average of 28.4 points per game, but are averaging 20.5 points in their last six contests.

A big part of Buffalo's struggles stems from the team's inability to take care of the ball, with 18 turnovers on the season - second most in the NFL.

Two-time Pro Bowl quarterback Josh Allen has been in the middle of the team's turnover woes, throwing two interceptions and fumbling once on Monday. His 11 interceptions are the most in the NFL.

Allen's first game with Brady running the offence will come Sunday against the visiting New York Jets.
