It’s no secret that the Buffalo Bills should prioritize the offense during this critical offseason. But just how much disparity existed between offense and defense this past year? To check in, we’ll mostly compare using league rankings from the 2018 regular season. Each team plays 13 unique opponents during the regular season. In a league of 32, this means most statistics typically normalize.
To explain that statement, when you play nearly half the league there’s an excellent chance that most opponent measures will be near the average. For instance, playing against the top two passing defenses will impact your passing offense to some degree.
