In about half as many games played, the former Ute has more tackles, more sacks, more pass breakups, and more interceptions compared to 2024.
His first pick came back in week four against New Orleans. His second came exactly one week ago against the Miami Dolphins.
Bishop’s ball tracking has reached unforeseen levels in 2025. In three years and 35 games with the Utes, he had three interceptions total. He reached that mark in less than two months with the Bills this season.
