If you missed the Buffalo Bills game Sunday against the New Orleans Saints, you’re not alone. The Bills defense was also absent on Sunday at New Era Field. For a team that has adopted the mantra “Defend our dirt,” they did very little defending against the Saints.
Here is recap of the Saints’ drives:
