2.) A.J. Brown vs. Rasul Douglas
This will more than likely be the biggest on-the-field matchup to look for. Eagles’ wide receiver A.J. Brown has been on a tear this season, specifically in his six-game stretch where he recorded 125+ receiving yards and got five touchdowns in that stretch. For the last two weeks, Brown has been quieter than expected. He only has eight combined receptions for 74 yards and a score. With the physical presence he brings, there is no doubt that he will be the biggest x-factor for this offense. That is where Bills’ cornerback Rasul Douglas will have to step up.
Last week against the Jets, Douglas had three takeaways (two interceptions and a fumble recovery), giving Bills fans confidence in his play moving forward. The one challenge that Douglas faces is the physicality of Brown. This is not Garrett Wilson, who is not as big as Brown. Douglas will have to bring his A-game against Brown and keep him as limited as possible to take away a weapon for Hurts.
