These are four players who could be X-Factors for the Buffalo Bills in Week 3 against the Los Angeles Rams.

In the first two games, the Buffalo Bills have gotten big performances from key players outside of the team’s stars like Josh Allen, Stefon Diggs, and Tre’Davious White.

In Week 1, the play of Andre Roberts as their returner helped the Bills win the position battle against the New York Jets. While in Week 2, it was a diving touchdown catch by Gabriel Davis that helped the Bills take the lead back in the fourth quarter while Tyrel Dodson had big shoes to fill replacing Tremaine Edmunds and did a pretty good job.

These are four players in Week 3 who could play a pivotal role in helping the Buffalo Bills secure a victory over the Los Angeles Rams.

Mitch Morse

There is no question that Buffalo Bills starting center Mitch Morse has a tall order in front of him with Aaron Donald lining up on the other side. The Rams defensive tackle is one of the best in the league and the Bills coaching staff has likely put together a comprehensive gameplan to try and slow him down.

One of the keys is going to be double team Aaron Donald whenever possible and this will mean that Morse will likely be helping out either Quinton Spain or Cody Ford at time.

However, communication will also be a key to their success and this is certainly going to fall on the Bills’ center. The Rams will likely try to stunt Donald or send delay blitzes behind the defensive tackle to try and get after Josh Allen.

There will be plenty of pressure on the Buffalo Bills offensive line, and especially Mitch Morse, in a key game for this team.
