Bills defense shows new strategies against Ravens without Lamar Jackson

The Buffalo Bills employed a different defensive approach against the Baltimore Ravens on November 3, 2026, following a critical injury to Ravens quarterback Lamar Jackson on the game's first play. Jackson's replacement, Tyler Huntley, faced a Bills defense that set season-high marks in blitz and man coverage rates. Under defensive coordinator Jim Leonhard, who called plays from the booth, the Bills abandoned pressing receivers entirely. How much of this shift in strategy is a response to Jackson's absence remains unclear, but it marks a notable change for the Bills as they continue the season.
