Another potential matchup nightmare is the tight end, Tyler Higbee. The Buffalo Bills are coming off a week where Mike Gesick for the Dolphins was able to catch eight passes for 130 yards and one touchdown. The defense is now tasked with slowing down Higbee, who is coming a game in Week 2 where he had five receptions for 54 yards and three touchdowns.

These are two tight ends with similar builds, both stand 6’6″ and around 250 pounds, and bring a unique dynamic to their offense as they are very athletic for the position.

One of the reasons that Gesicki had such a big day was that the Bills were without Tremaine Edmunds and Matt Milano due to injury. Milano in particular does a good job in pass coverage against these types of tight ends.

However, there is no guarantee that the Bills starting linebacker will be ready to go for Week 3. If he is not, the coaching staff will need to have a different gameplan than the one they used against Gesicki.
