Jadeveon Clowney vs. Buffalo Bills offensive line

This is not going to be a one-on-one matchup because the Tennessee Titans have done a good job moving Jadeveon Clowney around in their defense to try and create mismatches.

While Clowney may not have high sack totals for his career, he is a dominant defensive lineman that does a good job making plays in the backfield. In 78 career games, he has only 32 sacks but has 73 tackles for a loss and 85 QB hits.

As for the Buffalo Bills offensive line, they have done a good job protecting Josh Allen while taking into account the shuffling they have had to do over the first four weeks. It actually started even before training camp when Jon Feliciano suffered a torn pec and hasn’t been able to return yet.

The Bills will be entering Week 5 with potentially their third starting offensive line as Brian Winters, their starting right guard the past two weeks is questionable for this game. If he is not able to play, Quinton Spain who was the starting left guard the first two weeks likely steps in.

Communication is going to be key along the offensive line in slowing down Clowney and this will fall on Mitch Morse to make sure everyone knows their assignments.
