ESPN projects 2024 stats for Buffalo Bills defense

ESPN projects 2024 stats for Buffalo Bills defense

The Buffalo Bills have experienced more turnover than most during the 2024 offseason.

This makes ESPN’s projections for next season all the more interesting.

Will Von Miller’s passing prowess return after his knee injury? Can the secondary remain at an elite level following the departures of defensive backs Jordan Poyer and Tre’Davious White?

With that, here is what ESPN projected the Bills defense will look like statistically in 2024:
