1) Run Defense
After a Thursday night game that saw the Bills give up 194 rushing yards and 2 touchdowns to the New York Jets, you would think they would’ve figured it out after having 10 days’ rest, no? Well, they didn’t figure the run game out. Let’s face it, Ingram and rookie running back Kamara dominated the Bills. The two combined for 237 rushing yards and 4 touchdowns.

The Bills run defense was so bad they set a franchise record, by allowing 6 rushing touchdowns in one game.
