Jim Leonhard's Buffalo Bills defense just gave us another glimpse of how dangerous it could be in 2026.
Buffalo's pass rush showed up against the Cleveland Browns during Thursday's joint practice.
Greg Rousseau reportedly recorded two sacks. Michael Hoecht generated a tackle for loss and a pressure as he continues working his way back. Bradley Chubb generated pressure during two-minute work.
And it wasn't only the veterans.
TJ Sanders and Landon Jackson reportedly generated tackles for loss during red-zone work, while Jordan Hancock intercepted Deshaun Watson and Maxwell Harrison broke up a potential touchdown.
Buffalo's defense might be deeper than we realized.
Plus, did Josh Allen just take his final meaningful snaps before Week 1? Buffalo's starters received roughly 40-50 reps against Cleveland, and after Allen already played well against Carolina, there might not be much left to prove in preseason.
But there is one player I absolutely want to see Saturday: Tyler Bass.
Bass reportedly missed four of six field goals during joint practice after also missing a 45-yarder against Carolina. I'm not hitting the panic button yet, especially after he missed last season with an injury, but I'm officially watching this situation closely.
Protect Josh Allen. Evaluate everyone else.
And let's see Tyler Bass respond.
