Buffalo Bills offensive line has a big game

The Buffalo Bills offensive line has been a constant point of discussion for this team this year, due more to their struggles at different times. This week, it seemed like they could once again be heading that way with Jon Feliciano and Cody Ford on Reserve/COVID-19 and Dion Dawkins just coming off on Saturday.

The Bills entered this game with Dawkins on the sideline and a starting lineup that had Spencer Brown at left tackle and Ryan Bates getting the start at right guard. This group looked good early but the coaching staff once again had to shuffle when Ike Boettger went down with an Achilles injury.

Dawkins was forced to come into the game and the coaching staff moved Daryl Williams to right guard, Spencer Brown to right tackle, and Ryan Bates to left guard.

Even with all the shuffling, the offensive line played great and gave Josh Allen plenty of time in the pocket, and didn’t allow a single sack all game. This group played great today under tough circumstances and deserves a great deal of credit.
