While the Buffalo Bills came up short in Sunday’s 9-3 loss to the Carolina Panthers at Bank of America Stadium, the loss cannot be pinned on Buffalo’s defense, especially the pass rushers. Led by a resurgent Jerry Hughes, the Bills (1-1) brought down Cam Newton six times Sunday afternoon, and that total could have been more as Buffalo enjoyed a dominant performance out of its talented front seven.
Hughes, who looks like the dominant pass rusher who posted double-digit sack totals in 2013 and 2014, posted a pair of sacks as Buffalo’s defensive line was able to have its way with the Panthers’ offensive line.
