Matt Milano vs. Mike Gesicki
Mike Gesicki has been a massive threat for the Dolphins all season, and against Buffalo he showed how important is on third down. Gesicki was able to create chunk plays on third down and fourth down, which at times kick started poor drives. Gesicki had four catches the last time these teams played, with two of them creating first downs. He also had an impressive 41 yards on those four catches.
Gesicki creates a matchup nightmare for any team he plays due to his size, speed, and soft hands. The Bills used different players throughout the game to try mitigate Gesicki, including Lorenzo Alexander, Levi Wallace, and Matt Milano. Milano is the best coverage linebacker that Buffalo has on their roster, and has the size and speed to match Gesicki. Milano has displayed his skills in coverage with two pass deflections, and has shown his ability to close down his opponents before they can make an explosive play.
Milano will need to have one of his best performances of the season against Gesicki if Buffalo wants to stop the streaking Dolphins from moving down the field.
