Bills Defense Doesn’t Capitalize On Backup QB In Loss

Bills Defense Doesn’t Capitalize On Backup QB In Loss

one year ago

The Buffalo Bills defense registered three sacks and an interception while permitting 22 points in Monday's 22-16 defeat to the New York Jets. Leonard Floyd and Jordan Phillips submitted first-quarter sacks. The Bills' front seven then lost Breece Hall for an 83-yard scamper before that drive sputtered for a chip-shot field goal after Hall run out of gas late. Matt Milano next corralled an interception on an errant throw by second-stringer Zach Wilson later in the period. Buffalo closed in once more on Wilson for a fourth-quarter sack, but Garrett Wilson delivered an early catch of the year candidate on a fade for a late game-tying score. Sean McDermott's guys were dealt a suddenly favorable hand after Aaron Rodgers (Achilles) departed following just three offensive plays, but they hardly took advantage in fantasy circles. Buffalo's D should rank as a top-five play in Week 2's rebound spot for their home opener versus Jimmy Garoppolo and the Las Vegas Raiders.
