3. How the Bills defense can be better on third down
Through six games the Bills defense has allowed opposing offenses to convert third downs at a rate of 53.5 percent, which ranks 30th in the league. The Chiefs converted 64.3 percent of their third downs in Week 6, and the Titans converted 60 percent in Week 5. Bills defensive coordinator Leslie Frazier shared how he thinks his defense can do a better job of getting out of third and long situations.
"It's been a combination of things between our rush and our coverage," Frazier explained. "There were times last night and even in the game on Tuesday night where we set up a situation where we have a third and long where we really feel good about it, and our technique's off a little bit or the quarterback ends up getting out of our pocket and makes some plays on the run. It's a combination of things, and we've got to settle that down hopefully starting this week."
"You get a team in 3rd-and-7-plus, you'd like to feel like you have an advantage. Under six it's a little bit tougher, more 50 percent chance if you can win in those situations. But the seven-plus in the past, we've been pretty good so it's disappointing to see how we've struggled in that area in 2020. We have another chance at it this Sunday, and we have to figure out a way both schematically and execution wise to be better than we been. It has to improve. That's a big turning point in our season, if we can improve that."
