Bills' defense showing signs of cohesion in Ryan's 2nd year (The Associated Press)

ORCHARD PARK, N.Y. (AP) -- Kyle Williams would prefer seeing far more consistency before declaring the Buffalo Bills' defense being much improved over last season.

''We played decent Week 1. Bad Week 2. Better last week,'' the veteran defensive tackle said. ''You can't have missing weeks in there.''

The dud Williams referred to was a 37-31 loss to the New York Jets in Week 2, when Buffalo allowed 493 yards and four touchdowns.

On the bright side, the defense opened the season allowing 308 yards in a 13-7 loss at Baltimore.
