Last week: 27

Record: 2-2

The difference between old Defensive Coordinator Dave Wannstedt and new Defensive Coordinator Mike Pettine has been immense. Pettine’s new hybrid 3-4/4-3 defense, coming over from the Jets, has really had this front 7 playing well, with guys like Marcell Dareus, Mario Williams, Kyle Williams, and early Defensive Rookie of the Year frontrunner Kiko Alonso. As a result, opponents are moving the chains on 69% of opportunities, one of the better rates in the defense, despite a banged up and thin Buffalo secondary. If only the offense could move the chains at a higher rate than 68%.
