Defenses are being aggressive against the Buffalo Bills’ offense. The Bills have a lot of work to do coming off their bye week. Essentially, no aspect of the team can be considered 100% optimal through seven weeks. Although fans can debate whether the offense or defense carries the plurality of blame for the disappointment associated with back-to-back losses, one item that’s begun to rear its head is the increased aggressiveness with which opposing defenses are playing against Buffalo.
Through their first six games, the Bills have faced a blitz from the defense on 28.8% of Josh Allen’s drop backs, per Sumer Sports. This number represents a four-year high for the MVP signal-caller. • 2025: 28.84% (62 blitzes on 215 dropbacks) • 2024: 26.53% (143 blitzes on 539 dropbacks) • 2023: 27.7
