Linebackers

The Bills were able to work in a number of linebackers this week but it was Tremaine Edmunds and Matt Milano who did a lot of the heavy lifting. Edmunds in particular had a good game finishing with a team-high nine tackles, one tackle for a loss, and one sack. Milano finished the game with five total tackles.

After the starters came out, Tyler Matakevich stood out with his play in the second half. He was seemingly always around the ball and finished with six total tackles. He also was disruptive in pass protection, finishing with two passes defended and nearly came up with a diving interception.

Andre Smith was another backup linebacker who got some extra snaps this week and finished with five total tackles.

Grade: B+
