Don't forget who has faced. The Jets' defense has allowed opposing offenses to convert a whopping 55.8% of their third downs (dead last in the league), KC has allowed 42.9% conversion rate of third downs (20th in the league), and only Cleveland is halfway respectable in that area with 35.6% of the third down allowed (11th and the Bills were 4 for 14 or 28.6% on third downs in that game).
On the flip side, the Bills' defense is also horrible at stopping teams on third down allowing opposing teams to convert 46.2% of third downs (25th in the league).
The Pats are tied for 12th with 36.1%. So other than the Browns, the Pats are far better on third down defense than the teams the Bills have faced.
Also, on the positive side of this particular stat, the Pats face some of the worst teams in this category over the next month including the Bills, Seattle (22nd with 44.7%), the Broncos (29th with 50%), and the Jets.
