Obviously what matters is getting the W, but I thought there were some interesting bits on the stat sheet. This look is focusing on the defensive side of the ball.
Buffalo surrendered zero sacks to the unit that leads the NFL in sacks (KC) at 36. They also rank 3rd themselves with 29.
Put up 470 yds on the #8 ranked KC D and allowed just 210.
Allowed just 2 rushing TDs in 9 games.
Buffalo's 1st down % allowed on D on run plays is just 19.4%, good for 7th in the NFL. For the same category on pass plays it is 33.5% which places them 12th.
Big plays are a problem with Buffalo being 3rd worst in the NFL in plays of 20+ yds allowed with 9 for running plays. On the other end of that, they haven't allowed a single play of 40+ yds on the ground. On the passing end, they have allowed 12 plays of 40+ yds, worst in the NFL.
Buffalo's pass D allows QBs to complete 58.2% of their passes, 6th best in NFL, and also have the 6th most passes attempted against them.
Buffalo's D has played the 5th highest snap count in the NFL.
The INTs haven't been happening lately, but Buffalo is still 2nd in the NFL with 12.
Buffalo's D had a shaky start, but has since settled into the #18 spot for Pass Yds Allowed and #17 for Rushing Yds Allowed. They rank #24 for Points Allowed and #20 for Yds Allowed. Nothing great, but an obvious improvement. With how young the team is, a solid draft, FA period, and more time for the players to master the scheme, this could end up a major strength for the team.
