1 – Pass rush is alive and well
The Bills had just one sack last week against the Jets, as New York went to an exclusive three-step passing game to neutralize Buffalo’s pass rush. The front four still put heat on the quarterback, but on Sunday in Carolina they got home.
Six times the Bills pass rush got to Cam Newton for a takedown. Jerry Hughes paced the defense with a pair of sacks. Lorenzo Alexander, Shaq Lawson, Eddie Yarbrough and Jordan Poyer accounted for the rest of the tackles on Newton behind the line of scrimmage.
