Buffalo Bills Defense

✦ Blitz AI

Buffalo's defense rates 64.5, ranking 12th among all defensive units, primarily because of strength in limiting opponent yardage and scoring rather than generating turnovers or pressure. The Bills allowed yards and points at rates in the 81st and 65th percentiles respectively, well above the position median, but generated sacks at the 39th percentile and takeaways at the 52nd percentile, both below the middle of the pack. This is a unit that controls game scripts through bend-don't-break defense rather than dominant pass rush or ball-hawking, which caps its ceiling relative to more aggressive defenses. The rating relies entirely on 2025 full-season data with no adjustment needed for sample size, and reflects a meaningful decline from the 77.4 rating the Bills posted in their last healthy season of 2024.
