In back-to-back games, Christian Benford has provided the spark for the Buffalo Bills. Not just the defense, but the entire team.
Last week, Benford came up with two takeaways in roughly a minute and a half of game time, picking up a scoop-and-score fumble recovery and snagging his first interception of the season. This week, he gave Buffalo its first lead over the Cincinnati Bengals in the fourth quarter by picking off Joe Burrow on a designed blitz, taking it 67 yards for the score.
Benford is playing electric football at the perfect time for the Bills' defense, which doesn’t come as a surprise to his fellow defenders.
