Linebackers

It shouldn’t be surprising that right about the time the Buffalo Bills defense as a whole started playing better, the Bills linebackers were showing improvements as well. It starts with middle linebacker Tremaine Edmunds, who continues to set the tone for this defense as he finished with a team-leading eight total tackles.

This week also saw Matt Milano play more snaps, as the team appears to be slowly working him back after being on injured reserve. He finished the game with six total tackles but one of the areas he excels in is in pass coverage, especially against tight ends. However this week Noah Fant had a big game with eight receptions for 68 yards and a touchdown.

Even with Fant having the game he did, this was still a good game by the linebacker position.

Grade: B
