‘A lot of this comes back to the Bills’ lack of big run-stopper in the middle of their defense. They don’t have a Chris Jones or a Jalen Carter or Cam Heyward to be a big plug on the defensive line. Instead, they have Ed Oliver, whom they paid $68 million in 2023, and that has blown up in their face. This season, Oliver has 20 tackles on the year, and only eight of them have been solo tackles. He’s largely been a non-factor. Oliver and Da’Quan Jones have combined for 19 solo tackles this season and just seven tackles for loss – that’s not enough production from your defensive interior. And that’s been the issue for the Bills. It’s been easy for runners to get past the first wave of their defense.’
