The Buffalo Bills and Miami Dolphins matchup is inching closer by the minute.
Tua Tagavoiloa has been an early-season MVP candidate and the offense has been taken to an entirely new level with Tyreek Hill being added to the mix. Dropping 70 points on an NFL team is unheard of, their offense is good.
However, Buffalo has their own weapons on defense that could impact the contest. Specifically, both Matt Milano and Terrel Bernard are first and second, respectively, in the NFL when looking at QBR when being targeted.
Pick 6 on Instagram highlighted, by each position, which players are allowing the lowest QB rating. On the below post, if you slide over to the right twice, you will see the LBs listed in which has Milano and Bernard leading the charge.
As per their post, Milano has allowed a 28 rating while Bernard has allowed a 38 rating, with a minimum of 5 targets faced.
Bernard's story has been one that the Bills Mafia has loved. When Tremaine Edmunds left, there was an immediate need to fill that position. With an offseason filled with question marks and a preseason game of Tyrel Dodson not proving himself, Bernard earned the start and has run away with it. Last game, Bernard put the league on notice with a performance deserving of AFC Defensive Player of the Week.
Then there's Matt Milano. Milano has been one of the very best draft picks by the organization in recent memory. The All-Pro LB can be seen flying all over the field, wreaking havoc on QBs and laying the hammer down with some nasty big hits.
While Waddle and Hill are electric on the football field, McDaniels' offense starts with the success of a speedy and creative running game. With Milano and Bernard shining, it could wreak havoc on their gameplan.
Miami will not be a walk in the park, and they are going to test the defense throughout the entire contest. Luckily, Buffalo has two of the very best LBs in the league who seem ready for the challenge.
Buckle up, Bills Mafia, it's almost gameday.
