With multiple injuries on the defensive side of the ball, the Bills had their work cut out for them and performed to their best. Ultimately could not keep the Eagles out of the end zone in overtime.

Leading to poor play down the stretch late was subpar play from some members of the defense. These players will need to elevate their game in the future, according to Pro Football Focus.
