Montgomery sliced into Bills' second/third level in Week 1, exposing potential run defense gaps.

Montgomery, the Lions running back, had success slicing into the second and third level of Buffalo's defense in Week 1, according to Matthew Byham's film review. While the Bills held Houston's running backs to 3.5 yards per carry overall, Byham notes that watching it live, things felt less ideal with how often Montgomery was able to penetrate deeper into the defense, suggesting the Bills' run defense may have vulnerabilities against more dynamic backs.
