In this episode of The Film Room, we break down the Buffalo Bills’ masterful defensive game plan against Travis Kelce. From pre-snap adjustments and audibles to post-snap discipline, we explore how the Bills used multiple defenders, strategic alignments, and a team-first approach to limit Kelce’s impact. Learn how Terrel Bernard’s versatility, timely help from the secondary, and the importance of “multiple eyes” on Kelce disrupted his rhythm and kept him in check.
