Last season, the Buffalo Bills lost their most important defensive lineman to injury at a terribly inopportune time. After that player was injured, the team could do little to replace him. As a result, they needed to piece together the defensive line rotation in such a way that multiple players were playing out of position, which led to bigger issues with the defense than had happened all season.
If you thought I was talking about Von Miller at first, guess again — I was actually talking about defensive tackle DaQuan Jones, whose spot as the “one-tech” defensive lineman has often been the unsung hero of the Bills’ defense.
