Defensive front comes to play
The Bills revamped their defensive line this offseason, and through two games, it’s paying big dividends. Defensive end Mario Addison started his Buffalo career with back-to-back games with sacks as he got on the stat sheet again, bringing down Ryan Fitzpatrick. Ed Oliver then added another for the Bills, but Oliver also got in on the fun along the goal line. The second-year pro had a massive goal line stop and a few plays later, Buffalo dodged a bullet but stopped the Dolphins on the one-yard line on fourth down due to a dropped pass.
Late when things got close, Jordan Poyer had a sack, but it really was a half of a sack from everyone on the Bills’ defensive line. Everyone was in Fitzpatrick’s face and he had nowhere to go, which put the Dolphins in a third-and-long situation. The Bills went on to score after that.
Against the run, Myles Gaskin did have 6.6 yards per carry, but overall, Miami only had 99 yards rushing on the ground, 12 of which came from Fitzpatrick.. Buffalo’s defensive line complementing this secondary is a very good thing.
