PFF: 5 highest-graded Bills players on defense in Week 8

The Buffalo Bills defeated the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, 24-18, in their Week 8 matchup on Thursday Night Football.

The Bills (5-3) had a few players that stood out above the rest in this one. Particularly on defense, Buffalo had a balanced game plan. At the center of that was safety Jordan Poyer. He tied for the team lead with eight tackles and defended two passes as well, one of which was nearly an interception.

The Bills will hope such consistency will remain in their efforts throughout the rest of the 2023 season.

With that, here are the five highest-graded Bills players on defense against the Buccaneers (3-4) from their Week 8 win according to Pro Football Focus‘ metrics:
