1) Defense

Now this is something we have only seen once so far this season from the Bills defense. No turnovers for the first time since week two against Carolina. It looked promising early on as the Bills almost forced an early turnover when Jets quarterback Josh McCown threw a pass right at Bills cornerback Leonard Johnson. But the pass slipped through the hands of Johnson as he couldn’t hold on.

The Bills could be in a defensive battle come next week as they take on the New Orleans Saints. The Saints have 9 interceptions on the year, 3 fumble recoveries and 4 defensive touchdowns. The Saints offense is also red hot; quarterback Drew Brees has thrown for over 260-yards passing in three straight games. The Bills will have to play a solid game on defense for them to get a much-needed win against the Saints.
