5 key matchups for Buffalo Bills vs. Jacksonville Jaguars in Week 5
By Brandon Ray
The red hot 3-1 Buffalo Bills are at “home” in London as they take on the 2-2 Jacksonville Jaguars. Coming off a statement win over the Miami Dolphins, the Bills find themselves facing an on-the-rise AFC team led by Trevor Lawrence, who have high aspirations based on how they finished last season. Statistically, the Bills are way ahead of Jacksonville in terms of points per game, points allowed per game, takeaways, and overall offense and defense. However, the NFL is a week-to-week season and anyone can be beaten at any moment.
Heading into this game, Josh Allen is 1-1 against Jacksonville, but is 0-1 against Trevor Lawrence. He will be looking to change that across the pond. The Jaguars come into this game ranked as the 20th overall offense and as the 12th ranked defense. On the other hand, the Bills come to London as the 2nd ranked offense and defense. One of the biggest disadvantages that could change these rankings for the Bills is the season-ending injury to cornerback Tre’Davious White, who suffered a torn achilles late in the third quarter against Miami.
Is this a trap game for Buffalo, or can they get to four consecutive dominant wins against this Jaguars team? We will find out early on Sunday at 9:30am EST.
