Aaron Donald vs. Bills interior offensive line

Another key matchup for the Buffalo Bills will be their interior of their offensive line going up against one of the best defensive players in the NFL in defensive tackle Aaron Donald. The two-time NFL Defensive Player of the Year is once again playing at a high level and in two games has five total tackles, six pressures, and one sack.

He is a player that teams have to commit more than one offensive linemen to block him. This is why the entire Bills interior offensive line is listed. The trio of Quinton Spain, Mitch Morse, and Cody Ford is going to have to be on the same page, and communication will be key, in slowing down Donald and trying to keep him away from Josh Allen.

One thing worth noting is that Ford was rotating with veteran Brian Winters against the Miami Dolphins and the Bills could try to continue this rotation as a way to keep their offensive linemen fresh against Aaron Donald.
