Can secondary handle big test?
The Bills secondary has locked down team after team after team this season. In Week 13, they might have their biggest test to date.
The Cowboys enter the game as the best overall offense (433.4 yards per game) in the NFL, along with being the NFL’s best passing offense (303.5). The Bills, in their own right, are great too. Overall, the third-best defense and third-best passing defense (184.3). This is a meeting of juggernauts.
Safeties Micah Hyde and Jordan Poyer, plus cornerback Tre’Davious White, have to be lock down status. But a big factor will be Levi Wallace and Kevin Johnson. Those two have switched in-and-out in recent weeks and you can expect Dallas quarterback Dak Prescott to know where those guys are so he can target them.
Prescott has plenty of weapons to do just that. The Cowboys have five playmakers with more than 30 catches, Ezekiel Elliot (32), Randall Cobb (39), Jason Witten (42), Michael Gallup (46) and Amari Cooper (56). Cooper’s 886 receiving yards is sixth-best in the NFL as well, even though he didn’t record a single catch last week. That’s a lot.
