Defensive Ends

The Buffalo Bills pass rush was much more productive than it has been in recent weeks. Mario Addison had a sack, Jerry Hughes had a couple of pressures as well as a big forced fumble at the end of the first half and A.J. Epenesa got into the sack column for the season with a half sack.

Even Greg Rousseau, who only had one tackle, had a good game in particular against the run and setting the edge.

Grade: B

Defensive Tackles

The Jacksonville Jaguars did their best to try and establish the run but it just wasn’t happening thanks to the Bills’ defensive tackles. The Jaguars finished the day with only 79 rushing yards on 27 carries for an average of 2.9 yards per carry.

Harrison Phillips led this group with five total tackles, which was good to see from a player that has been up and down this season. Star Lotulelei added four tackles, along with a tackle for a loss, with Vernon Butler and Ed Oliver each registering one tackle.

Grade: B+
