Buffalo Bills face defensive challenges ahead of Rams matchup
Summary

The Buffalo Bills suffered a 29-26 loss to the New England Patriots in Week 4, exposing significant issues in their secondary. With starting cornerback Christian Benford inactive, Maxwell Hairston and Davison Igbinosun struggled against the Patriots' offense. In light of these defensive woes, there are calls for the Bills to sign veteran cornerback Tre'Davious White, who remains a free agent after previously playing for the team. The Bills will play the Los Angeles Rams on Monday Night Football in Week 5, and if Benford is unable to return, the defense could face additional challenges against key Rams receivers.
