Maxx Crosby doesn't have any sacks

Another reason that the Buffalo Bills will want to lean into the screen game is that the Raiders have an excellent defensive end in Maxx Crosby. He is one of the best pass rushers in the league and is a player all offenses have to game plan for.

For the Buffalo Bills, they should be prepared for Crosby to be lined up a lot across from right tackle Spencer Brown, who struggled last week against the Jets. This is a clear mismatch and one that favors the Raiders.

The best way to limit the impact of the pass rush is to get the ball out of the hands quickly of Josh Allen. In addition, to throwing quick passes the Bills can run screen plays away from whatever side Crosby is on as another way to limit his impact.

The focus will be on Maxx Crosby and the Buffalo Bills will do enough to limit his impact and he will have no sacks in Week 2.
