The Bills defense in 2023 has faced a torrent of injuries.
Von Miller missed the beginning of the season. Defensive lineman DaQuan Jones is on injured reserve currently. Inside linebacker Matt Milano was lost for the year. So, too, was top cornerback Tre’Davious White.
Through all of that, though, Buffalo’s defense has retained the ability to impact opposing quarterbacks.
The Bills enter Monday night’s game against Denver sixth in the NFL in sack rate (8.3%) and seventh in total pressure rate (26.7%), and they’ve done it thanks to a seemingly endless supply of rushers.
Miller is still working back into form through five games after a torn ACL ended his 2022 season; he has yet to record a sack after totaling eight last year.
