As we’ve been doing for several years now, we’ll break down the Pittsburgh Steelers’ opponent each week, telling you what to expect from a scheme and individual standpoint. This year, Jonathan Heitritter and I will cover the opposing team’s defense. I will focus on the scheme, and Jonathan will analyze the players.
Today, we are scouting the Buffalo Bills’ defense for Week 13’s game against Pittsburgh.

Buffalo runs a 4-3 defense, though it can shift to a hybrid style in passing situations. In the past, the Bills have played almost exclusively nickel defense with CB Taron Johnson never leaving the field.
