Bradley Chubb vs. Dion Dawkins

This past week, the Buffalo Bills right tackle Daryl Williams had the tall task of slowing Steelers’ top pass rusher, T.J. Watt. This week though it will be up to the team’s starting left tackle, Dion Dawkins, as he will have Bradley Chubb lined up across from him.

Chubb was a first round pick by the Broncos in 2018 and had 12 sacks as a rookie. Last year, Chubb suffered an injury and played only four games but has bounced back this season. He has 7.5 sacks in 13 games and has a chance to surpass double digit sacks for the second time in his career.

As for Dawkins, he has developed into a franchise left tackle after the Bills drafted him in 2017. The Buffalo Bills recognized his importance and were able to sign him to a long-term deal before the season.

The Broncos are dealing with a number of injuries in the secondary and if Josh Allen gets time in the pocket, the Bills quarterback could have a big game.
