Opinion: Bills defense walking a tight rope
‘McDermott’s defenses have been so good and consistent over seven years, he deserves the benefit of the doubt to say it was just a bad day. However, the numbers say the Bills could have more problems ahead.’

‘Detroit uses two excellent backs and you can quickly tell which they like better by how they split the touches–both have exactly 212 rushes and receptions combined.

Bills vs. Lions Preview: Super Bowl tease?
‘Last week, for the first time all season, the Buffalo Bills defense didn’t pick up a single sack in their loss to the Rams. Going up against the Detroit Lions, the top-scoring offense in the NFL, pressure will be important to keep Lions quarterback Jared Goff under duress.

Despite a sour showing in LA, Rousseau’s performance will be pivotal to bring pressure against one of the NFL’s best offensive lines.’
