Courtland Sutton vs. Tre’Davious White 

Brandon Allen is the new face of the Broncos, and he has a reliable target in the sophomore receiver, Courtland Sutton. Sutton has had a strong season, he has 49 catches, 805 yards, 16.6 yards per catch and he has caught four touchdowns. 

In his last game, Sutton had 115 yards and was the catalyst for the potential upset versus the Vikings. Sutton has been used in various ways this season, showing that he can be a star receiver in the NFL. 

Tre’Davious White was coming off the best game of his season when he faced Miami, but he couldn’t follow that up when facing DeVante Parker. He torched White, as he racked up 135 yards on seven catches. The Bills played more zone coverage against Miami than they did against Cleveland, but White missed some key tackles that led to big plays from Parker. 

White will need to lock down Sutton if the Bills defense wants to completely shut down the Broncos offense. Brandon Allen is a young quarterback and still makes mistakes, which can play into the hands of Buffalo’s secondary.
