How does the new offensive line do against the Chiefs?

The Buffalo Bills made some big changes on their offensive line before Week 4 against the Houston Texans. They knew they would be without Jon Feliciano due to a concussion and he was replaced by Ike Boettger.

However, they also changed up the right side of the line with Daryl Williams moving inside to guard and rookie Spencer Brown getting the start at right tackle. Sean McDermott was happy with what he saw in that game and said he plans to stick with this new line for the foreseeable future.

This will certainly be a big test for this new offensive line, and specifically, Spencer Brown who will be making only his second career start. The Chiefs have some talented defensive ends with Chris Jones and Frank Clark that pose a big challenge.

In addition, the fact that this is a road game poses challenges for Brown as the crowd noise will make it tough to hear the snap or any changes at the line of scrimmage considering he is the farthest away from Josh Allen.

It would make sense for the Buffalo Bills to stick with the same offensive line from last week moving forward but this week is certainly going to create challenges, especially for the rookie right tackle.
