Is the Bills run defense up for the task of stopping the potent Patriots?

ORCHARD PARK - Buffalo Bills defensive coordinator Leslie Frazier got a little defensive on Tuesday when he was asked about the viability of the team’s run defense.

When you look at the league rankings, they show that the Bills are sixth with an average yield of 96.6 yards per game. That’s very good, and Frazier said, “Well, those numbers don't lie.”

Well, a closer look may be needed.

Against two of the best running teams in the league - who undoubtedly have two of the best backs in the league in Tennessee’s Derrick Henry and Indianapolis’ Jonathan Taylor - the Bills got steamrolled.
