The Buffalo Bills take on the Jacksonville Jaguars in a Week 3 battle which may be season-defining for both teams.
series is dedicated to breaking down how the Buffalo Bills match up with their opponent in every game of the 2024 NFL season. This series will look at five key matchups: Bills Pass Offense vs. Opponent Pass Defense, Bills Rush Offense vs. Opponent Rush Defense, Bills Pass Defense vs. Opponent Pass Offense, Bills Rush Defense vs. Opponent Rush Offense, and Bills Special Teams vs. Opponent Special Teams.
Behind them though is where things do get a little dicey in terms of defending the pass. Jacksonville’s entire secondary is filled with solid NFL players, but no real game changers, while their linebackers are built more to defend the run than pass. Andre Cisco and Antonio Johnson make for a solid safety duo that can cause issues but their lack of experience playing together is something Buffalo will look to exploit.
Despite the loss of All-Pro talent, the Bills' pass defense has been elite through two weeks while taking on elite talent. Both the Cardinals and Dolphins excelled when taking on other competition but struggled mightily against the Bills. A passer rating of 71.5 and 4.7 yards per dropback against Buffalo is indicative of a unit that is forcing teams to play shallow and preventing them from picking up extra yardage after the fact.
This week they will be key to slowing down an odd and awkward Jaguars rushing attack. They want to lean into the lightning and thunder that is Travis Etienne and Tank Bigsby but have been unable to find a way to do so effectively. Further, Bigsby is dealing with an injury that may keep him out against Buffalo, resulting in D’Ernest Johnson getting more reps.
