Anyone know how the Bills defensive scheme compares to the Eagles?
If they are dramatically different, we might be seeing a situation where Andy can empty his bag ENTIRELY on Buffalo.
Vic Fangio is Philly's DC now and has had success against Mahomes, albeit unable to beat him
Quote:
Mahomes posted an EPA (expected points added) per dropback of 0.13 in six matchups against Fangio’s Broncos defense from 2019 to 2021. His mark against all other teams during that span was 0.21. His yards per attempt, completion percentage and passer rating were all lower for Mahomes against Fangio than against everyone else collectively.
Still, for all the relative success in slowing Mahomes individually, Fangio has never defeated the superstar quarterback as an opposing defensive play-caller (0-7), the most recent setback being a 21-14 loss to Chiefs in Week 9 in Germany.
The Chiefs jumped out to a 21-0 lead in that game, but Miami held Kansas City scoreless in the second half. Mahomes completed only 6 of 11 passes for 38 yards after halftime, nearly allowing the Dolphins to pull off an improbable comeback.
