Sack-fest
The Bills’ defensive front-seven turned things on in the second half of the season and carried that momentum into the postseason. First and foremost, defensive end Trent Murphy proved his worth. Against the Jets last week, Murphy finished the season with two sacks. He followed that up with another two sacks against the Texans and a tackle for loss.
Meanwhile, Jerry Hughes, who had a quiet 2019 season and streak of one sack in the Bills’ final six games, notched two sacks himself. In total, the Bills have five sacks on the day, but unfortunately, things went completely silent for the Bills’ pass rush in the second half and gave Houston’s Deshaun Watson way too much time to throw and plenty of space to run the ball.
