Inside The Bills | Pettine on Bills ‘D’: "We are a multiple front"
Pettine: "I would say that’s inaccurate," Pettine responded. "I’ve never been a guy to characterize what we’ve done as 3-4; 4-3; ’46.’ We are a multiple front, multiple coverage defense. And my foundation has always been, we are going to build what we do defensively based on the talent that we have. I’m not one to say, ‘this is my system, and you guys have to run it.’"

"The Bills averaged just 17.6 points per game over that span, converted just 32 percent of their third downs had 20 turnovers (9 fumbles, 11 INTs) and an average time of possession of just over 27 minutes (27:07). Pettine’s defense totaled 13 sacks in those eight meetings as well as a pair of touchdowns."
