After his third NFL season, former Louisville football player Preston Brown had his best season as a professional football player. He increased every tackle total from the year before and became the team’s leader at middle linebacker.
While he did have a decent year on the stat-sheet, his defense was absolutely terrible in 2016. The Bills finished 29th in rushing yards allowed, 6th in passing yards allowed, and 27th in total defense. Teams didn’t have to pass on Buffalo this season since they gave up so many rushing yards.
This is where Pro Football Focus ranked the Buffalo Bills’ defense in their article that was released on Tuesday afternoon:
