When it came to crucial matchups in Week 1, the Buffalo Bills didn’t fare very well.

Pittsburgh Steelers wide receiver Diontae Johnson burned Levi Wallace for a touchdown while T.J. Watt wreaked havoc and produced two sacks which helped the Steelers pull off a 23-16 upset victory over the Bills.

In Week 2, Buffalo gets a chance to bounce back against its divisional rival, the Miami Dolphins.

Starting with a key member of Buffalo’s offense, here are three key player matchups in Buffalo’s Week 2 matchup against Miami.
