Buffalo Bills: 5 biggest questions entering Week 12 against Eagles

How will the Bills secondary hold up against the Eagles?

The Philadelphia Eagles don't throw it often with the seventh fewest passing attempts in the NFL. However, they are very efficient and more importantly make the most of those pass attempts as they rank 12th in terms of passing yards per game with 234.8 yards per game.

The reason being is that they have the sixth highest yards per pass attempt average at 7.6 yards. The Eagles wide receivers like A.J. Brown and Devonta Smith make big plays down the field and this is why this is one of the toughest offenses to defend.

Unfortunately for the Bills, the secondary is really banged up heading into this game. On Thursday, Micah Hyde was limited for the second straight practice with a neck/stinger injury, and Taron Johnson was limited in concussion protocol after not practicing Wednesday. Meanwhile, backups Dane Jackson, Cam Lewis, and Taylor Rapp have been limited or not practiced yet this week.

If there is one player/position to watch is the nickel cornerback spot as Taron Johnson has been one of the more underrated players on this defense this season. He is a key to their success and if he is unable to play this week, it would be a big loss.

The problem is that his backup, Cam Lewis, has also been limited this week during practice. If he is unable to play as well then it probably would be Siran Neal as a replacement. This would be a mismatch in favor of the Eagles that they probably focus on in this game.
