Buffalo Bills defensive tackle Justin Zimmer (61) walks on the sideline during an NFL football game against the New York Jets, Sunday, Sept. 13, 2020, in Orchard Park, N.Y. Justin Zimmer had more appearances on the NFL transactions list than tackles -- 27-15 -- since 2016, when the undersized defensive lineman first broke into the NFL as an undrafted free agent with the Buffalo Bills. None of that mattered on Sunday, Nov. 1, 2020, when Zimmer, in his second stint with Buffalo will be remembered for forcing the decisive fumble to secure a 24-21 win over the Bills AFC arch-nemesis New England Patriots.
