A look back at the Buffalo Bills’ Week 2 tilt against the Carolina Panthers.

You can summarize the Buffalo Bills’ Week 2 9-3 loss to the Carolina Panthers pretty easily.

As a whole, the defense was really good. Like really, really good. But the offense struggled. Mightily.

While Cam Newton isn’t 100 percent yet, the Buffalo Bills did a really nice job bottling him up. They made Christian McCaffery, who was the hottest rookie heading into the season, look human, too.

Offensively, the Buffalo Bills couldn’t move the ball through the air, and because of that LeSean McCoy was bottled up all day long. McCoy’s effectiveness is going to be key Sunday against the Denver Broncos.

You know the drill, this column profiles the players who took steps forward and also regressed each week. Welcome to Risers and Fallers.
