‘The Jacksonville Jaguars kept the Bills’ passing game off balance. The three-receiver set (11 personnel) finished with OK passing numbers. But take away the last three minutes of the game, and the Bills were 11 of 17 for just 113 yards passing out of 11 personnel.

In addition to playing with Buffalo in 2020, Norman’s first stint with the Panthers (2012-2015) overlapped with McDermott’s time as the team’s defensive coordinator. Norman would thrive in McDermott’s defense, making the Pro Bowl and being named a first-team All-Pro in 2015.’
