Kyle Van Noy

On the defensive side of the ball, the Miami Dolphins spent big with Byron Jones but linebacker Kyle Van Noy was a key addition for this defense as well.

The Buffalo Bills know Van Noy well from his time with the New England Patriots where he really started to play at a level the Detroit Lions expected when they drafted him in the second round of the 2014 NFL Draft.

He has spent the past 3.5 years with the Patriots where he racked up 16.5 sacks and 221 total tackles. Van Noy reunited with Brian Flores in Miami and the hope is that he will be that impact player for the Dolphins.

The Buffalo Bills offensive line for the most part did a good job of giving Josh Allen time in the pocket and will need to make sure they know where Kyle Van Noy is on every play.
