PITTSBURGH -- All week long, the defense listened to the national media talk about the defense they would share the field with during Sunday night's game between two teams fighting for the AFC's last two playoff spots.When the game was over, the Bills defense was the one that did that talking after forcing five turnovers and four interceptions of quarterback Devlin "Duck" Hodges in , which clinched Buffalo's second playoff berth in three years."We've been hearing about their defense," Bills defensive end told reporters from the winning locker room. "We've been hearing about T.J. Watt, all those guys. We ain't getting enough respect. We came out here and played our game."The Bills' defense did play their game. The NFL's second-ranked scoring defense and third-ranked pa s defense entering Sunday night's game, Buffalo allowed just 229 total yards while holding the Steelers to their lowest scoring total since their Week 1 blowout lo s to the . Additionally, the Bills sacked Hodges four times while forcing those four interceptions that included two picks by cornerback . White's second pick was the first of three fourth-quarter interceptions by the Bills, Shelby Harris Jersey who entered Sunday's game tied for 10th in the league in forced turnovers. Buffalo actually forced three more turnovers than Pittsburgh, which is second in the NFL with 35 takeaways after recording two turnovers against the Bills."It's something that we've focused on all year," linebacker said of the Bills' focus on forcing turnovers. "(Turnovers) normally come in bunches. So hopefully this starts a trend for us to where we can start consistently getting two to three a game to really help obviously our offense and our team win games." Another focus for Buffalo's defense was on stopping Hodges, who caught the unit's attention earlier in the week with his apparent failure to properly give them their due."(Hodges) had comments at the beginning of the week, (calling us) a normal defense," said Adrian Killins Jr. Jersey Lawson, who recorded a sack of Hodges while also tallying two tackles for lo s. "Just a normal defense doesn't catch three or four picks (and record) five sacks. That's not some normal D."The Bills defense definitely isn't normal, but is it good enough to get Buffalo to its first Super Bowl in over a quarter century? Bills defensive tackle didn't exactly say it, but he certainly feels that way. "We're the best defense in the league, and we put that on display tonight," said Phillips, who led both teams with two sacks. "We work, we play for each other, and at the end of the day, we're just trying to get the chips to fall the way they fell tonight. We needed a big turnover game, and we finally made it happen. We play great defense, but we haven't turned the ball over enough. We did tonight."Phillips Dalton Risner Jersey wasn't done with his verbal a sault on Hodges, going as far as to openly question whether or not the Steelers may make a change at quarterback for Pittsburgh's next game."We definitely heard about, like Shaq said earlier, about how (Hodges) said we're a normal defense, we don't do anything special, and he should be able to handle us, and blah blah blah," Phillips said. "That's just real disrespectful. We'll see if starts next week." A portion of NFL fans -- the ones who like to see high-scoring games -- were likely offended by what they saw Sunday night, as the Bills and Steelers played the type of game that will likely be required by whoever comes out of the AFC this winter. The Bills and Steelers are just two of five AFC defenses that are good enough to lead their teams to the promised land.The defense, despite being overshadowed by MVP front-runner , has complemented its dynamic offense since the acquisition of cornerback . The , after having one of the league's worst run defenses during the first half of the season, have come on strong during the team's current three-game winning streak. The most consistent defense in the NFL resides in Foxborough, as the Patriots' defense will lead the way if New England is going to become the second team in NFL history to play in four consecutive Super Bowls.While the Bills' defense spearheaded Buffalo's playoff clinching victory, Pittsburgh's defense put forth another sparkling effort. second quarter interception stalled one Bills po se sion, while Watt's forced fumble of running back inside Pittsburgh's red zone ended the Bills' first drive of the second half. In all, the Steelers defense held the Bills to just 261 total yards and just 139 yards pa sing from quarterback Josh Allen. The main difference in this game was the Steelers' inability to turn their turnovers into points. With their rushing attack stuck in neutral -- the Steelers rushed for just 51 Justin Simmons Jersey yards on 15 attempts -- Pittsburgh failed to score on either of its forced turnovers. In fact, Pittsburgh turned the ball over itself after getting to Buffalo's 10-yard line following Nelson's second-quarter pick. Instead of getting a momentum-turning score at the end of the half, safety Jordan Hoyer's recovery of a fumble by Pittsburgh rookie receiver preserved Buffalo's 7-3 halftime lead.After allowing their first touchdown of the night (the Steelers marched 69 yards in just seven plays on the opening drive of the second half), the Bills' defense responded with a forced punt (following Watt's forced fumble) and White's interception that set up game-tying field goal with 12:27 left.The Bills' defense didn't waste any time getting the ball back to their offense. After Lawson helped force a punt by tackling Steelers running back for a 7-yard lo s, Buffalo's offense marched 70 yards on six plays while taking the lead for good on 14-yard touchdown reception with 7:55 left. While Allen contributed on both of Buffalo's touchdowns (he opened the scoring with a one-yard run in the first quarter), he was complemented by a Bills rushing attack that ran for 130 yards on 31 carries, with Singletary cutting and slicing through Pittsburgh's defense for 87 of those yards. "(The Steelers defense was) overflowing a lot, but the O-line definitely was getting a lot of push and just creating lanes, even the receivers was getting blocks on the second level, so it was really easy," Singletary said after the game.Don't take Singletary's "really easy" quote as a shot at Pittsburgh's defense, as he was also asked if the Steelers have one of the best defenses he's faced this season."I would say so, definitely," said Singletary, who specifically pointed to the Steelers' defensive front as the best part of the unit. Buffalo's defense then closed the door, recording two interceptions of Hodges on Pittsburgh's final two po se sions. Poyer came up with an end zone interception of Hodges on fourth-and-7 with 1:23 remaining, while cornerback iced NFL Denver Broncos Jersey the game with his pick of Hodges with six seconds left."We knew that (turnovers) were gonna be a big part of the game," Lawson said. "Both teams were trying to make the playoffs so we knew
