  • Encouraging as it was in a 40-14 win in which Buffalo (13-3) clinched the AFC's No. 2 seed, questions remain over how the unit holds up against superior competition once the postseason opens in two weeks. And will it be enough for a prolific Josh Allen ...

The article from MSN discusses the Buffalo Bills' defensive performance as they head into the playoffs. Despite having a talented roster, the Bills' defense has shown significant inconsistencies throughout the season. Key points include their struggle with run defense, allowing an average of 124.4 rushing yards per game, which ranks them 23rd in the NFL. This vulnerability was particularly evident in games against teams like the Denver Broncos and the Philadelphia Eagles. Additionally, the defense has had issues with missed tackles and blown coverages, which have led to critical moments in games where opponents capitalized on these mistakes. While the Bills' defense has moments of brilliance, especially in pass defense where they rank 7th, their inability to consistently stop the run and maintain discipline could be their Achilles' heel in the postseason. The article suggests that for the Bills to make a deep playoff run, their defense needs to find a way to stabilize and perform more consistently.
