The Buffalo Bills‘ defense once again flexed its muscles over the division rival New York Jets, getting after Mike White to the point where he was knocked out of the game. They may not have covered, but they still came away with a 20-12 win in Week 14 to stay atop the AFC East.
Offensive spotlight: Offense was difficult to come by in the rough conditions in Buffalo on Sunday. If there was any silver lining, it was that Josh Allen protected the ball better than he has in some time. Since Week 8, Allen leads the NFL with 14 turnover-worthy plays. On Sunday against a vaunted Jets defense, though, Allen didn’t have a single one.
Defensive spotlight: With Von Miller down for the rest of the season, second-year defensive end Gregory Rousseau had no problem picking up the slack against the Jets. The former first-round pick tallied four pressures on 33 pass-rushing snaps, including two sacks. Teammate A.J. Epenesa put together one of his better games this season, as well, with a sack and another hurry.
Rookie spotlight: Another week, another ridiculously impressive performance from Zonovan Knight. The rookie undrafted free agent looks like a Day 2 pick at the moment. He broke nine tackles on 17 carries for 71 yards and a score. He’s now broken 19 tackles on 46 carries this season.
Offensive line spotlight: Spencer Brown continues to show little in the way of improvement from his rookie season. The right tackle has been a liability at times this year, and Sunday was yet another instance. He allowed five pressures on 37 pass-blocking snaps to lead all players in the game.
