Buffalo Bills' defense getting healthy, hitting stride at right time
ORCHARD PARK, N.Y. -- With a league-high 88% of snaps returning in 2020, continuity was a perceived strength for the Buffalo Bills entering the season.
The defense returned 80%, good for seventh most in the league, which made it a surprise early this season when the unit didn't play to the standard it had set in 2018 and 2019. During that span Buffalo allowed the fewest yards per game and fourth-fewest points per game in the NFL. Through the first half of the 2020 NFL season, the defense ranked 16th in yards per game and 14th in scoring.
