Add to this the loss of three Pats CB's plus possibly Vrabel, and definitely Deion Branch. Add to this Corey Dillon's not 100%. Head to head, over the last 5 games each, the Bills lead in points, 3rd down conversion percentage, 4th down conversion percentage, rushing yardage, passing TD's, sacks allowed, net punt yardage, and fewest number of penalties.
The Bills' D: Rushing Defense -- 95.9 ypg (4th); Passing Defense -- 172.3 ypg (3rd); Total Defense -- 268.1 ypg (3rd). The Pat's D (WITH CB's): Rushing Defense -- 119.0 ypg (21st); Passing Defense -- 220.1 ypg (19th); Total Defense -- 339.1 ypg (19th).
McGahee is only the third player since 1970 to have 100 yards rushing in each of his first three starts.
Since Milloy's return, the Bills have improved from 14th to third in passing yards allowed and from 29th to 13th in third-down percentage defense.
