Levi Wallace

The Buffalo Bills were dealing with depth issues at cornerback entering this game with Levi Wallace on injured reserve and Cam Lewis, who got the start at nickel, suffering a wrist injury early. This is certainly not an ideal situation going up against Patrick Mahomes and this Chiefs offense.

However, this time the Bills have all the key pieces to their secondary with Levi Wallace playing some of the best football of the season. This past week against the Ravens made the first big play for this defense with a sack on Lamar Jackson the opening drive.

The Chiefs have some excellent wide receivers starting with Tyreek Hill but also Mecole Hardman and Demarcus Robinson with potentially Sammy Watkins returning as well. The Bills are going to need all the cornerbacks they can get this week against the Chiefs and having Levi Wallace will be a positive for this defense.
