Buffalo’s defense was able to hold one of the NFL’s top offenses to 18 points thanks largely to the debut of a new package that left Arizona’s playmakers guessing.
Starting on third-downs and eventually expanding into most of the Bills defensive plays, Buffalo used seven defensive backs, three linebackers and Kyle Williams as the only defensive lineman.
The success of the package was evident, as Arizona was forced into five consecutive three-and-outs to start the game and finished the game 5-15 on third down conversions.
“This package was totally different,” Bills safety Corey Graham said.
