Facing one of the league’s high-octane offenses in Buffalo, the Falcons’ defense was expected to get torched through the air and gashed on the ground. It didn’t help they were missing multiple starters and contributing role players due to injuries and positive COVID tests. Although some of their success can be attributed to the blistering snowy weather disrupting Josh Allen’s rhythm, Dean Pees’ undermanned defense fought hard and managed to produce three turnovers.
Mother nature didn’t affect Foye Oluokun’s ability to deflect one of Josh Allen’s signature fastballs into Duron Harmon’s hands. That play was made from pure instincts and talent.
