Everyone got toasted that day. We gave up 51 points and 531 yards. Our defense was atrocious that year.
Through 8 games we were not just bad, we were on pace to be one of the worst defenses in years giving up almost 400 yards per game (397.1). After the Bills 30th ranked offense rolled up 479 yards and 33 points against us in the 8th game of the year Marvin re-tooled the defense. The next week Deltha O'Neal (a shell of his former All-Pro form) was benched for Leon Hall, and Dhani Jones (WOLB) and Rashad Jeanty (SOLB) were inserted as starting LBs. The improvement was staggering. Over the final 8 games the defense allowed almost a full one hundred fewer yards per games (300.4).
