Ed Oliver

Another player who has been consistently one of the best players on defense this year has been defensive tackle Ed Oliver. In the final regular season game against the Jets, Oliver once again made an impact with 1.5 sacks and three QB hits to go along with four total tackles.

He now has had at least one sack in three straight games after only having 0.5 sacks in the first 14 games of the year.

One of the things that stood out in this game was that the coaching staff has started moving Oliver around on the defensive line. On the first sack by Oliver, he was lined up at the defensive end and used a nice spin move on left tackle Conor McDermott.

If this becomes something the Buffalo Bills are able to utilize in the playoffs, it is going to give offensive lines challenges trying to protect their quarterback.
