These are three players on the Buffalo Bills trending up after Week 12.

While the game shouldn’t have been as close as it was at times, the Buffalo Bills were able to get the win over the Los Angeles Chargers and moved to 8-3 on the season. These are three players who were a big reason for the Bills’ win in Week 12 and are trending up.

Jerry Hughes

It was a quiet start to the season for the veteran defensive end but he has started to turn it on recently. In the first six games, Jerry Hughes had no sacks and only eight QB pressures but in the past five games he has nine QB pressures but more importantly is getting to the quarterback with 4.5 sacks.

In Week 12 against the Chargers, Hughes had four total tackles and 0.5 sacks. The performance earned him the fifth-highest grade by Pro Football Focus for edge defenders prior to the Monday Night game.

The Buffalo Bills defense has started to play much better recently and Jerry Hughes has been a big reason for that.
