The Buffalo Bills were fantastic on defense last season. They were second in the NFL in points allowed and third in yards allowed. Most of that unit returned for 2020.
The results weren’t the same. The Bills dropped to the middle of the pack in defense but it didn’t really matter because Josh Allen and the offense were so good.
When the Bills offense found itself stuck in a windstorm for a divisional playoff game on Saturday night, the defense showed up.
Buffalo’s defense did a great job containing Lamar Jackson and came up with the game-changing play, a 101-yard interception return for a touchdown by Taron Johnson, in a 17-3 win.
