Bills Defense Makes Plays but Still Struggles

The Buffalo Bills defense made several plays against the Packers, including seven QB tackles and two interceptions, one of which was returned 99 yards for a TD.  However, they also gave up their fair share of plays.  The team is having a very difficult time getting off the field on 3rd and long and the coaches are livid about it.  The coaches are looking into ways of helping their guys get off the field on 3rd and long.

With the Packers up 1-3, FS Jordan Poyer came away with a much needed interception as the Packers were threatening to score again.

Later on another Packer drive rookie CB Gorden Klein would intercept an ill-advised Aaron Rodgers pass at the Buffalo 1 yard line.

Klein would find a lane and take the interception back for 99 yards and a score.  This is the playmaking potential the Bills expect from the heavily touted playmaking Klein.  He's maturing so patience is needed.

Late in the game the Bills started dialing up the Pressure.  Here we see Inside Linebacker Ben Heeney take Rogers down on an overload blitz.

Third-year defensive tackle Adolphus Washington would get in on the festivities taking down Rogers twice in the fourth Quarter.

Finally, Rookie Corner George Saffold would take Rogers down on the final drive to close the game out.

The defense has a way to go and looks to maximize their talent at every step of the growth process.
