Bills Defense Shines in Preseason Win | NFL News

The Bills’ preseason opener was a statement: a win over the Panthers highlighted by a dominant, aggressive new 3-4 defense led by Jim Leonhard. Ed Oliver and Deone Walker shredded matchups, while D.J. Moore made an immediate impact with three catches for 61 yards—though a scary leg injury scare turned out to be nothing serious. Edge rushers Greg Rousseau and Bradley Chubb are being deployed in fresh roles, with Rousseau likely on his natural side to maximize pressure. Meanwhile, center Connor McGovern’s absence is being handled by veteran Lloyd Cushenberry III, while rookie Landon Jackson is battling T.J. Sanders for a starting spot. Jordan Hancock also stood out with versatile snaps at corner and safety. The defense is rotating differently than last year—and it’s already making noise.
