Jerry Hughes, pass rush rattles Mac Jones
Meanwhile, the Buffalo Bills pass rush is doing a great job getting after the opposing quarterback and while they didn’t have nine sacks like they did last week against the Jets, they made their presence known.
The Bills would finish the game with three sacks with Jerry Hughes, Star Lotulelei, and Boogie Basham each accounting for a sack. It was particularly good to see Hughes get his sack as he has had a relatively quiet regular season but seems to always show up in the postseason.
This was his third straight playoff game with a sack and now has seven sacks in the last five playoffs games with Buffalo.
Jerry Hughes is the first Bill with a three-game playoff sack streak since Bruce Smith’s club-record 5-game streak between 1/9/93 at Pit. and 1/23/94 vs. K.C.

The Buffalo Bills are going to be playing a very good quarterback next week, either Patrick Mahomes or Joe Burrow, and they will need a good game from their defensive line pressuring the quarterback.
