Bills pass rushers will have battle
Remember how we mentioned how good the Steelers were in the defensive trenches? That’s the case on offense too, specifically on the edges.
Blocking Duck’s blindside is Alejandro Villanueva and at the right tackle spot is Matt Feiler. Pro Football Focus ranks those two as the No. 20 and No. 11 tackles in the NFL, respectively this year. Further strengthening things is David Decastro at guard, PFF’s 14th best guard.
But, if there is a weak spot, this game could be a good opportunity for Ed Oliver and Jordan Phillips in the middle. Center Maurkice Pouncey sits at a 43.6 overall grade so far this season via PFF’s grading system, otherwise known as the 36th best center grade in the NFL. There’s 32 NFL teams, for those who forgot. Getting pressure on a young quarterback, as we could tell from Josh Allen last week, is always important as well.
