tw: Is CB Tre’Davious White benefiting from a great pass rush, or is the pass rush benefiting from his great coverage?

NW: The pass rush certainly benefits from Buffalo’s secondary. White is very good and the cornerstone to this defense. He earned his first overdue Pro Bowl nod this season and he was the only cornerback this season to play 500-plus coverage snaps and not allow a touchdown, per PFF. Of course, there’s some luck involved there. QBs miss, wideouts drop it, etc., but that’s still pretty good. Along with White, Micah Hyde and Jordan Poyer are a top-notch safety tandem as well. Going back to Kevin Johnson, he’s probably the weak link out there, but if the Bills are only as strong as their weak link, that’s pretty good.
