Defense

Notes:

  • In Week 11, CBs Levi Wallace and Kevin Johnson played a near 50-50 split of snaps. Wallace saw more against the Broncos, 64 percent to 36 percent, respectively.
  • After playing in 90 percent of snaps in Week 11, CB Taron Johnson dipped to 64 percent against the Broncos, causing an increase in LB Lorenzo Alexander’s playing time.
  • In Week 11, DE Shaq Lawson played more snaps than Trent Murphy, but the two switched against the Broncos as Lawson played in 54 percent to Murphy’s 64 percent. Lawson had two sacks in the game.
  • In a similar switch, Star Lotulelei saw more snaps than rookie Ed Oliver at DT after the opposite was true last week. Lotulelei played in 56 percent to Oliver’s 44 percent. Oliver and Lotulelei both had a sack against the Broncos. For the first time in his career, Lotulelei has recorded a sack in back-to-back games.
  • The 100-snap club played out per usual, minus Wallace, S Jordan Poyer, LB Matt Milano, CB Tre’Davious White, S Micah Hyde, LB Tremaine Edmunds.

Special teams

Notes:

  • RB Senorise Perry, LB Julian Stanford and LB Corey Thompson continue to be your first-tier special teams contributors, as that group was in Week 11 as well.
  • CB Taron Johnson, possible filling-in for the injured Robert Foster, played in 67 percent of special teams snaps. His previous season-high was 26 percent.
  • S Dean Marlowe, who has been inactive for the Bills since Week 9, played in 54 percent of special teams snaps. S Siran Neal missed Week 12 due to a concussion.
