By The Numbers: A statistical look at Wolves' abject season in the Premier League

WOLVERHAMPTON, England (AP) — Wolverhampton is setting unwanted records in its nightmare season in the Premier League.

Here’s a by-the-numbers look at the team’s abject season so far after its latest defeat, 2-0 at home to Brentford:

The number of points collected by Wolves after 17 games. That's tied for the fewest after the first 17 matches of a campaign in the history of English soccer, along with Newport County (in the fourth tier in 1970-71) and Sheffield United (Premier League in 2020-21).

The number of successive league losses by Wolves, extending a club record. Throw in a loss to Chelsea in the English League Cup and it's 11 straight defeats in all competitions. Next up for Wolves? Trips to Anfield and Old Trafford to play Liverpool and Manchester United to wrap up 2025.

The lowest ever points tally by a team in a Premier League season, set by Derby County in 2007-08. Wolves is battling to avoid that.

The number of points Wolves is from safety less than halfway through the league.

The number of goals conceded by Wolves in 17 league games, more than any other team. They also have the fewest goals, nine.

ORCHARD PARK, N.Y. (AP) — The Buffalo Bills muscled up their injury-depleted pass rush by signing veteran defensive end Matthew Judon to their practice squad on Saturday.

The move comes after the 33-year-old worked out for the team a day earlier, and after the 10th-year player was released by the Miami Dolphins on Wednesday.

Judon was cut after he failed to register a sack and was credited with only three quarterback hits in 13 games, including three starts for the Dolphins. He combined for 9 1/2 sacks over the past three seasons after finishing with a career-best 15 1/2 during his All-Pro season in 2022 with New England.

Listed at 6-foot-3 and 265 pounds, Judon is now on his third team in two seasons after a three-season stint with the Patriots and spending his first five with Baltimore. He had 5 1/2 sacks in 2024 with Atlanta.

Overall, the 2016 fifth-round draft pick out of Grand Valley State ranks 13th among active players with 72 career sacks.

Judon goes from the Dolphins, who have been eliminated from playoff contention, to the AFC East rival Bills (10-4), who are in position to clinch their seventh consecutive playoff berth as early as Sunday, when the team plays at Cleveland (3-11).

Though Judon’s production has slipped, the Bills are hoping his addition can fill a part-time role in their defensive end rotation.

Coordinator Bobby Babich has expressed a desire to reduce Joey Bosa’s playing time in order to keep the team’s sack leader fresh. The 30-year-old Bosa has averaged playing 60% of defensive snaps while dealing with a wrist injury in his first season in Buffalo.

Bosa’s increased playing time is in part due to Buffalo losing Michael Hoecht, who tore his Achilles tendon in Week 9 last month, and rookie edge rusher Landon Jackson to a season-ending knee injury a week later.

The Bills freed up a practice squad roster spot to sign Judon by releasing defensive end Morgan Fox.
