Za’Darius Smith / Danielle Hunter
The Minnesota Vikings have one of the best pass-rushing duos in the league with Danielle Hunter and Za’Darius Smith.
Danielle Hunter was a third round pick by the Vikings and made an immediate impact with 54.5 sacks over his first five seasons. However, injuries appeared to derail his career after he missed the entire 2020 season and then suffered a season-ending injury seven games into the 2021 season.
This season though Hunter has been just as effective with five sacks to begin the season but Za’Darius Smith has been the difference maker for this defense. The Vikings signed Smith after he was released by the Green Bay Packers and he has been one of the best in the league with 8.5 sacks already.
The Buffalo Bills hopefully will be getting Spencer Brown back this week after he missed the past two games. If the team has Case Keenum under center, the offensive line will not have the luxury of Allen’s scrambling ability and will need to give Keenum more time in the pocket.
