Matt Milano

The final player to watch this week against the Miami Dolphins on the Buffalo Bills defense is linebacker Matt Milano. Last week, Milano made one of the biggest plays of the game with an interception that he returned for a touchdown in the third quarter that essentially put the game out of reach.

One of the reasons Matt Milano is a key player this week is that the Dolphins have one of the better tight ends in the NFL in Mike Gesicki. He is an athletic tight end who plays more like a big slot receiver.

Fortunately, the Buffalo Bills have Matt Milano who is one of the best linebackers in the NFL in terms of pass coverage. If Milano is able to limit the impact that Gesicki has on this game it takes away a big option for Tua Tagovailoa and can try to force the passing game to be more one-dimensional, which helps the Bills gameplan this week.
