The Buffalo Bills are now 3-2 on the season after a deflating loss in London to Jacksonville Sunday morning. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Just a week before this, Buffalo put on a near-perfect performance against the once-undefeated Miami Dolphins. This win had plenty to do with the dominant defense led by head coach Sean McDermott. However, multiple defensive injuries may knock this defense back a few pegs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
During their game against Miami, the Bills lost cornerback Tre\u2019Davious White to a season-ending Achilles injury. This was a huge loss for Buffalo as White is a monumental part of the McDermott era and a huge asset for the defense.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Other prominent players out from injuries for this week\u2019s loss against Jacksonville were defensive end Greg Rouseau who had a foot injury, and rookie cornerback Christian Benford with an injured his shoulder. Injuries cannot be blamed for this loss, but they played a role in tearing down this explosive defensive unit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Arguably the biggest loss for the Bills defense is linebacker Matt Milano. During the second quarter of the Jacksonville game, Milano left the field with what appears to be a season-ending knee injury. Milano is a huge asset on this Buffalo roster and if his injury does keep him from playing, it will be a loss that may not be replaceable.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The big question Bills fans are waiting for is whether these injuries will slow down this Super Bowl-hungry team. I don\u2019t believe it’s fair to write off Josh Allen from winning his first NFL championship just yet, but injuries may play a role as a huge obstacle.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
