Buffalo’s defensive line has been a big reason why the Bills have more sacks than any other team in the league over the last two seasons (111). That production can certainly be attributed to talent, but there’s something else that the players themselves believe helps them excel up front.

In a word, it’s camaraderie. Mario Williams said from the time the unit was first assembled there’s always been a group approach to their play on the field as well as hanging out off the field.

“We’re really good people persons. It’s not hard for us to say, ‘Hey, what are you doing? Let’s go do this, let’s hang out,” said Williams of their off the field time together. “That was day one, it didn’t take three years to do that.”

When asked if he had any individual or team goals heading into the 2015 campaign, Williams said he did not. He insists he and his teammates are only focused on being the best defense they can be each week come this fall.

“It was kind of funny because somebody asked Kyle that at the end of last year (about a sack total), and he was like, ‘You know what, that never even came up.’ We never even mentioned a number or anything like that. We don’t have any goals except to go out and try to be the best we can be out there.”

Many prognosticators believe Buffalo’s defense could wind up number one in the league this season and help catapult the team to the playoffs for the first time in 15 years.
