5 Buffalo Bills to watch in Week 12 against the Detroit Lions
Taron Johnson
The final player on the Buffalo Bills to watch is slot corner Taron Johnson because he not only will be key in helping slow down Jamaal Williams, but he should primarily be the cornerback to cover Amon-Ra St. Brown, who is the Lions top receiver.
The second-year wide receiver is one of the top slot wide receivers in the league and in the past two games has had 17 receptions and 195 receiving yards.
The Bills’ secondary, which in past seasons has been a strength for this defense however this season has faced numerous injuries and has been missing players like Jordan Poyer, Micah Hyde, and Tre’Davious White at varying points of the season. In fact, Johnson is the only defensive back who has started every game for the Bills this season.
On the season, Johnson has 60 total tackles, one interception, one fumble recovery, and four passes defended. This will be a key matchup on Thanksgiving and one that both teams will want to win.
