‘Buffalo’s third-ranked pass defense of a season ago gets zero credit because most assume that with teams able to run at will on the Bills they never had to pass. While there is some validity to that contention, Buffalo’s defensive backfield with a subpar pass rush still allowed the sixth fewest pass plays of 25 yards or more (23) in 2010. And they capably held the Chiefs’ main threats in check last season. With an improved pass rush in 2011 with Shawne Merriman back to form, the secondary should not only have an easier go of it, but possibly some opportunities for takeaways.’
