Linebackers: C+

The linebackers had a busy game against the Jets, their offensive was looking for quick passes and a healthy dose of Le’Veon Bell. This meant that they needed to make tackles all over the field.

The group was spearheaded by special team standout Julian Stanford who had four tackles. The unit didn’t create any big plays, but they prevented plenty of big plays. They also feasted off the play of their defensive line, filling gaps, and swarming at the line of the scrimmage.

The Bills also took the time to celebrate Lorenzo Alexander, who has seemingly played his last home game in Buffalo. Matt Milano and Tremaine Edmunds got valuable rest as they will be facing an electric Houston offense in their first playoff game.
