Joe Brady has only served as the Buffalo Bills' offensive coordinator for two games since taking over for Ken Dorsey, who was fired on November 14, but the franchise is already showing some improvement in a critical area in that short time. 

Before Brady took over as the Bills' offensive coordinator, Buffalo was turning the ball over on 17.3 percent of its drives. 

That means 1 out of almost every five drives for Josh Allen and the Bills was ending in a turnover. 

While the turnover issues haven't completely disappeared since Brady took over — Allen has thrown two interceptions in the last two games — that scary 17.3 percent number has been cut in half. 

According to ESPN, that number is down to 8.3 percent since Brady took over for Dorsey in mid November. 

One reason for the improvement, according to a note from ESPN, is because the Bills are limiting Allen's throws downfield (ESPN pointed out that 10 of Allen's 13 interceptions have come on throws that went 15 or more yards in the air). 

It's clear that Brady seems to have a good grasp on helping the Bills' offense run as efficiently as possible. Buffalo is just 1-1 since Brady took over, but the offense has scored 64 combined points in those two games.

It's on Sean McDermott and the defense to hold up their end of the bargain over the stretch run of the season if the Bills are going to have a legitimate shot to make some post-season noise (and there's a huge opportunity to make some noise with numerous star AFC quarterbacks, including Joe Burrow, sidelined).
