Duds
LT Dion Dawkins
A tad bit of an apology goes out to Daryl Williams. Chargers pass rusher Joey Bosa had a field day against both of them, and on paper, more of that was against Williams. In reality, the tape showed Dawkins as the one beat by Bosa more times, and Dawkins took a couple of penalties against Los Angeles as well.
RT Daryl Williams
But like… not a total apology because Williams himself also wasn’t good. All year long, the Bills have been able to count on their tackles, but that was not the case against the Bolts. Williams was also beat by Bosa and others, including cornerback Chris Harris Jr., who blitz off the edge, something Williams completely missed, leading to Josh Allen’s interception.
QB Josh Allen
Speaking of that man, Allen was a bit of a dud in this one. It’s worth noting, you can play good enough to win, but still be a dud. That’s kind of what Allen did. His rushing was impressive, but he only had 157 yards passing, turned the ball over twice, and tried to play “hero ball” a bit more again. Those latter two need to stop. If the Bills win and he has 157 passing yards? Fine. The rest cannot be there anymore.
CB Josh Norman
You might be asking, “Josh Norman?” Well, yes. No one was more of a dud. For the first time in 2020, both Norman and cornerback Levi Wallace were healthy and made it through an entire game. Wallace played in nearly every snap on defense against the Chargers. Norman played in one. That shows us who the No. 2 cornerback is now.
