Defensive Line
After a pretty dominant performance last week against the New York Jets, this week feels like a bit of a letdown. The Buffalo Bills defensive front did not do a good job against the run as the Patriots were able to pick 188 yards on the ground along with two rushing touchdowns.
They were able to get two sacks, one by Jerry Hughes and one by Quinton Jefferson, and three QB hits. The play of the game came from defensive tackle Justin Zimmer when he ran down Cam Newton in the final minute and as he was making the tackle was able to knock the ball free for a fumble.
However, this Patriots offense is not very good and the Buffalo Bills have a tall task next week against the Seattle Seahawks. If the Buffalo Bills hope to come away with a win, they are not only going to have to get pressure on Russell Wilson but also limit his ability to make plays with his legs.
