Buffalo Bills: 4 unsung heroes through the first three games of the season

Buffalo Bills’ LB Matt Milano

The Buffalo Bills defense is arguably one of the best in the NFL after allowing 37 points through three games (the Steelers blocked a punt for a touchdown which they weren’t on the field for). This defense is doing a great job of getting after the quarterback and forcing turnovers and while it is a team effort, there is a good case to be made that Matt Milano is the best player on this defense through three games.

To start the year, Milano has 16 total tackles, six tackles for a loss, one sack, three QB hits, and two fumble recoveries. The six tackles for a loss are currently tied for the league lead with Denver Broncos’ pass rusher Von Miller.

He continues to come up with big plays, like making a tackle for a loss on a 4th and 1 play on Sunday against Washington or recovering a forced fumble when Miami was in the red zone and almost certainly would have put points on the board.

The Buffalo Bills were able to bring Matt Milano back with a sizable contract this offseason but if the linebacker continues to play like this, that contract could look like a bargain.
