Daniel Sorensen

Tyrann Mathieu generates the headlines but he isn’t the only safety the Buffalo Bills have to worry about. Daniel Sorensen has been the starting safety next to Mathieu since Week 6 and actually sealed the victory for the Chiefs over the Bills with an interception of Josh Allen on the Bills final drive.

This is the story for Sorensen as he is a player that seems to make that big play when the defense needs him most.

Since Week 6, Sorensen has had two interceptions and three forced fumbles. The last fumble he forced, while has come under scrutiny for the hit, came at the goal line and resulted in a touchback for the Chiefs.

That play essentially saved the win for the Chiefs as they won 22-17. If Rashard Higgins gets into the end zone there, the Buffalo Bills could be hosting the AFC Championship Game this weekend against the Browns.

The Chiefs have a number of playmakers on this defense but the Buffalo Bills can’t overlook Daniel Sorensen on Sunday.
