Bills’ Jordan Phillips drops an incredible comment about returning to the team

The Buffalo Bills strengthened their defense this week as they look to make their push to the postseason in the final nine weeks of the season, starting Sunday against the Indianapolis Colts.

Buffalo sits atop the AFC East and Week 10 is about to begin. The Bills defense is eighth in points allowed and 17th in yards allowed. They hope defensive tackle Jordan Phillips can help improve the yardage situation before the start of the postseason.

Phillips re-signed with the Bills after the Dallas Cowboys let him go. It will be his third stint with the Bills.

“If you see the smile and you’re really wanted, it’s a great drug, you know what I mean? You can do a lot for people if it’s in the right environment,” he said. “I’m an acquired taste, and (the Bills) like my taste.”

Phillips is known to eat on the defensive front.

He had 9.5 sacks and 31 tackles in 2019 – his first full season with the Bills. He hasn’t been able to relive that season in the years since, but he told reporters he’s fully healthy and ready to go.

“I don’t feel like I’ve left, so yeah, I’m happy with it. Ready to get going,” he said.

He played twelve games for Buffalo during the 2018 season, splitting time with the Miami Dolphins. He was then with the team through the 2022 and 2023 seasons before not being re-signed. He appeared in two games for the Cowboys and had one tackle.
