‘Perhaps the most impressive of the Bills’ new breed is Wiley, the defensive end charged with replacing the NFL’s second-leading sacker of all-time, Bruce Smith. The 6-foot-4, 275-pound Wiley has the Bills in the running to own the NFL’s best defense, again. That’s right, again. The Bills’ no-name defense, which was denied even a single Pro Bowl selection last season, had the NFL’s top-rated defense in 1999 even if most people thought that label belonged to Baltimore (which was second) Tampa Bay (third) or Jacksonville (fourth). "I don’t think we got our due as far as being No. 1," Bills linebacker Sam Cowart said. "If you ask a lot of people who finished No. 1, I think they might have said Tampa Bay or Jacksonville or something." If no one saw what the Bills’ defense did last year, which included holding Tennessee to 15 points in an AFC wild card game before the Titans used a kickoff lateral to win in the final minute, then they should have taken notice on Sunday night. In front of a national television audience in the 2000 opener, the Bills made Titans’ Pro Bowl running back Eddie George look like he belonged on the practice squad. George averaged only 2.2 yards a carry and finished with a mere 37 yards. Tennessee managed only 172 yards of total offense in the Bills’ 16-13 victory.’
