“Buffalo Defense Decimated”
November 12th, 2025
No, the Bucs are not the only team with injuries to key players.
Remember, the Patriots exposed the Bucs defense on Sunday without their top deep-threat receiver, Kayshon Boutte, and their most-used running back, Rhamondre Stevenson.
The Bucs’ next opponent has injuries, too. As the headline said yesterday in the Rochester Democrat and Chronicle: Buffalo Defense Decimated And Offense Takes A Hit.
The Buffalo Bills have only have three defensive starters who haven’t missed a game due to injury this year. They are also down to three healthy defensive ends on their roster.
Starting cornerbacks Christian Benford and Taron Johnson and rotational defensive end A.J. Epenesa did not play in the Bills’ 30-13 loss to the Miami Dolphins on Sunday. Rookie defensive end Landon Jackson played two snaps before suffering a knee injury and watching the second half on crutches.
And the big loss for Buffalo was tight end Dalton Kincaid blowing a hamstring Sunday in Miami. He’s Buffalo’s version of Cade Otton, except he’s got 4 touchdowns and is more of a downfield threat.
It’s that time of year in the NFL. Nearly every team has a pile of injuries. No excuses.
