Another big day for a tight end
No Matt Milano? Massive problem for the Bills once again.
Without their best coverage linebacker in the lineup, the Bills simply have no type of answers for opposing tight ends, especially ones that rank among the top half of the NFL. The latest to succeed against Buffalo was the Chiefs’ Travis Kelce.
Kelce did have one bad play, and kudos to Bills linebacker AJ Klein, he knocked the ball out of the tight end’s hands late in the first half. The Bills nearly had a chance to tie the game because of it, but Kelce did much more good than bad. First and foremost, Kelce had two touchdowns. On one, he beat Jordan Poyer to the corner of the end zone while the other… the closest guy around the Tremaine Edmunds, but he wasn’t particularly near Kelce at all.
Big nickel defensive back Siran Neal did see a little more time on defense than usual, including some time covering Kelce. Nothing seemed to make a difference, though.
The game plan on beating the Bills over the middle of the field is certainly out there.
