At first glance, things look pretty grim for Buffalo today against the New York Jets. The Bills highly permissive run defense (they’ve allowed a horrid 197.3 yards per game on the ground over the last three weeks) figures to be further weakened by the loss of linebacker Angelo Crowell, who is out for the year with a broken leg.
