The 2-0 Bills bring the NFL’s top DVOA offense into Week 3 against the 0-2 Chargers, whose offense ranks 27th. The preview centers on Buffalo’s pass rush against Justin Herbert and whether the Bills’ line can protect Josh Allen.
Herbert has faced pressure on 45.5% of his dropbacks through two games, the league’s second-highest rate. The article identifies Greg Rousseau and Deone Walker as Buffalo’s key pressure producers: Rousseau has four sacks and three forced fumbles, while Walker has nine pressures and one sack, per PFF. It cautions that the DVOA figures come from a two-game sample and still rely on last season’s adjustments.
The preview says Christian Benford has allowed 11 receptions for about 118 yards and two touchdowns, but notes that Nico Collins and Amon-Ra St. Brown combined for 16 catches, 217 yards and five touchdowns against Buffalo’s defense overall—not against Benford alone. Chargers receiver Ladd McConkey is dealing with rib trouble and has eight catches.
