Defensive line: A

The Bills defense had seven sacks against Miami on Sunday, with six of them coming from the defensive line. Every defensive tackle that played for Buffalo had a sack, with rookie Ed Oliver getting the first sack in the first quarter and his first one on a quarterback in Ryan Fitzpatrick. Newcomer Corey Liuget had the second, Star Lotuleli and Jordan Phillips had the third and the fourth, respectively. Phillips now has seven sacks on the season, leading the team.

Jerry Hughes and Shaq Lawson both had sacks as well, BillsMafia will want to see similar stats next Sunday against the Denver Broncos, especially against their rushing attack, led by a one-two punch of Royce Freeman and Phillip Lindsay.

The defensive line also stopped the run, something they hadn’t done in the past four games. Miami had just 23 yards on the ground.
