Josh Allen was the best QB in the NFL against the blitz this season. I heard on PFT that we blitzed something like 19 times and Buffalo averaged 4.6 yards per play on those blitzes. It seems like the CB and S blitzes were really effective, with Sneed, Mathieu, and Sorensen all getting effective pressure.
And then there is the man coverage that just left no targets all night for Allen. I don’t think you can ever have too many weapons in the passing game or too many defensive backs. We are really deep. Breeland, Fenton, Ward, Matthieu, Sorensen, Sneed, Thornton. That is 7 solid defenders not including Baker. Having so much depth allows us to call the CB and S blitzes, because there is so much cover talent on the field at one time. Having DB that will play tough against the run (Mathieu, Sorensen, Ward and Sneed come to mind) allows us to have acceptable run defense even with Nickel and Dime packages.
Great talent assembled by Veach, great game plan from Spags, and great execution by the whole defense. Hopefully the trend continues against the Bucs. They have some good weapons, no doubt. But I think there are some picks to be had from the fading reality of the QB formerly known as GOAT. [Reply]
Dirty Dan is getting a reputation around the league and I love it. People say he's dirty. Well yeah he's dirty Dan.
But what they really mean is they hate him making super important game-saving plays in huge games at huge moments.
I feel like I have had similar hatred towards players on Denver or Pittsburgh because they knocked my team out and then I'd say how much I hated that player and then someone would ask well would you want, let's say, Bill Romanowski on your team? Or James Harrison?
Thornhill coming back to Rookie form is a huge development as well. Letting him stay back and roam the center field role allows for so much flexibility for the rest of the secondary. If Sneed can return in time I don’t see why the defense can’t have its absolute best performance coming up in the biggest game. [Reply]
I still can't believe Sneed and Fenton are good. For years the Chiefs would take fliers on secondary players in the later rounds and end up with jags that never do shit and now it's actually panning out.
I for sure thought Fenton was the weak link in the draft. He buried Buffalo yesterday with that interception. [Reply]

Fenton was rock solid last year as well!! He’s a starting CB on any team. So happy we have him [Reply]
