ORCHARD PARK, N.Y. -- If you look at the numbers without context, there isn't a lot to like about the Buffalo Bills' defense over the past two weeks.
They allowed 419 and 453 yards to the Seattle Seahawks and Arizona Cardinals, respectively, the third time they have allowed 400-plus yards in their past five games.
Buffalo has not been the stifling defense it was the past two seasons, a span when it allowed the fewest yards and fourth-fewest points per game in the NFL. Those numbers have jumped to 20th and 18th, respectively, in 2020 and the offense has carried the load for the most part.
