Bills' Resilient Defense: Playoff Hopes Hinge on Clutch Performances
•
Buffalo Bills head coach Sean McDermott remains optimistic about his teams defense, despite ongoing issues like poor run defense. The Bills secured a win over Cleveland, improving to eleven wins and four losses. McDermott highlights the defenses ability to step up in crunch time, even after allowing one hundred sixty rushing yards. The defense has shown resilience, grabbing two interceptions, forcing field goals inside the red zone twice, and sealing the game with a late sack. Fans and analysts have mixed reactions, with criticism for the defenses rankings against the run and on third downs. However, McDermott points to the positives, like allowing just nine points per second half and having twelve of their twenty takeaways after halftime. Injuries continue to impact the team, with edge rushers and safety Taylor Rapp on injured reserve, but defensive tackle Ed Oliver could return soon. The Bills host the Philadelphia Eagles on Sunday, and the big question remains: can this resilient but inconsistent defense hold firm in the postseason?
