Plenty of changes made on defense
At least they tried?
After not making many changes in the slightest to their defense despite tough outings, Buffalo’s coaching staff had seen enough in a few spots on that side of the ball. First, before the game even started, the Bills had two notable healthy scratches in defensive linemen Trent Murphy and Harrison Phillips. In relief, Justin Zimmer saw playing time via a call up from the practice squad and did look pretty decent. But there were few other positive improvements found on the Bills defense.
In addition to the defensive line, Klein started over Tyrel Dodson in this one after the former undrafted rookie started against the Titans in Week 5 for Milano. Klein had that forced fumble and a nice tackle at the line of scrimmage late when the game was still in swinging distance, but he also left some plays to be desired. In the secondary, something was finally done about Taron Johnson’s poor play at slot cornerback as ex-University at Buffalo prospect Cam Lewis started the game out there at nickel cornerback. But he was injured very early in the game.
Maybe more changes are en route?
