The Bills’ defense was amazing during the regular season but struggled mightily in the two postseason games before falling 27-10 at home to Cincinnati in the divisional round. The unit allowed the sixth-fewest yards per game at 319.1 and the second-fewest points per game at just 17.9. They were also fifth in takeaways per game, finishing with 1.6 per contest. Taking a quick look at advanced stats, Buffalo finished fourth overall in Football Outsider’s DVOA (Defense-adjusted Value Over Average) with a cumulative score of -11%. Those numbers were all with massive free agent signing Von Miller playing 11 games before tearing his ACL on Thanksgiving in a win against the Lions in Detroit. Miller would have been much higher on this list had he been able to play a full season. Let’s get into more specifics on why the EDGE ranks 9th on our list.
