Buffalo’s defense answered Week 1 doubts with a stifling showing against the Jets, holding New York to 154 total yards and 10 points. Breece Hall was bottled to 29 yards on 10 carries, while Justin Fields added just 27 rushing yards on a key scramble. The Jets’ passing game also stagnated, with Garrett Wilson limited to 50 receiving yards on four grabs.

Rookie reinforcements carried the load on Buffalo’s line: Deone Walker, TJ Sanders, Zion Logue, and DaQuan Jones stepped up with solid snaps as Ed Oliver and Taron Johnson were sidelined. Joey Bosa wrecked the pocket with two forced fumbles, a sack, six pressures, and two hits, helping Buffalo post four sacks and 23 pressures overall. Buffalo hosts Miami next, aiming to keep building defensive cohesion.

In a Week 2 reversion to form, Buffalo proved it can adapt quickly, leveraging front-seven depth and a relentless rush to stabilize after Week 1 turmoil. The matchup against the Dolphins will test whether this developing unit can sustain pressure on a high-caliber offense on a short week.
