Buffalo Bills: 3 stats on defense they must improve in 2020
These are three stats the Buffalo Bills defense will need to improve this upcoming season.
The strength of the Buffalo Bills clearly lies with this defense under head coach Sean McDermott. Prior to joining the Bills, McDermott regularly had a defense finish in the Top 10 while he was defensive coordinator for the Carolina Panthers.
That success has continued in Western New York and the Bills finished third in total yards allowed and second in points allowed this past season. The only teams ahead of them in total yards allowed was the New England Patriots and the San Francisco 49ers.
The good news is that this level of production should continue as the team didn’t lost any key starters, with Shaq Lawson and Jordan Phillips being the biggest names. However, they added depth and experience to not only replace the lost talent but improve at every level of the defense.
While the Buffalo Bills defense has been one of the best, there is always room for improvement. The added talent should certainly help in this area and these are three stats that the coaching staff should look to improve this upcoming season.
