Pass Protection from the Buffalo Bills’ offensive line

The Tampa Bay Bucs have one of the top defensive lines in the NFL and they do an excellent job of getting after the opposing quarterback. They are currently eighth in the NFL in sacks with 32 with Shaquil Barrett leading the way with 7.5.

While it will need to be all five players on the offensive line working together for the Buffalo Bills, the pressure is really going to be on the interior of this offensive line. The Bucs have two excellent defensive tackles in Vita Vea and Ndamukong Suh, who have combined for nine sacks on the season.

The Buffalo Bills could be getting a boost on the interior of their offensive line this week with the potential return of Jon Feliciano. Their starting guard has missed four games due to a calf injury but had his practice window opened last week before the Patriots game. He has yet to be activated but if he is able to return, he will likely step in at left guard in place of Ike Boettger.

The offensive line has a tall task in front of them but if they are able to protect Josh Allen, this offense has a great chance of having a successful day against the Bucs.
