Prior to the Las Vegas Raiders taking on the Buffalo Bills, we sat down with BuffaloLowDown Expert Brandon Croce to discuss the matchup.

With the Las Vegas Raiders playing host to the Buffalo Bills in a crucial AFC battle, we had the opportunity to sit down with Brandon Croce, the site expert at BuffaloLowDown, FanSided’s Buffalo Bills website. Brandon gave us insight from a Bills prospective for Sunday’s matchup, and we thank him for his time.

1. Josh Allen is having an incredible season. What has been the big difference from him in 2020?

The biggest thing has been Josh Allen is playing within the offense, getting the ball to his playmakers and not forcing anything. The Bills front office has done a tremendous job of finding players that fit and magnify Josh Allen’s strengths. Last year, the Bills had nine players catch at least one touchdowns (one of which was left tackle Dion Dawkins) and already this year the Bills have seven players who caught a touchdown.

The addition of Stefon Diggs has given Josh Allen that true number one but has also opened the field up for John Brown, Cole Beasley and Gabriel Davis which gives Allen a bigger window to complete those passes.

2. The Bills have gotten out to a 3-0 start, but last week was a bit of a roller coaster. What do they need to do against this young Raiders team to move to 4-0?

One of the things the Bills have struggled with is closing games out once they get a lead. This is dating back to last year in their playoff game against the Houston Texans. It doesn’t feel like it is the playcalling this year as the Bills offense have stayed aggressive. The issue is surprisingly on the other side of the ball as the defense hasn’t been able to slow the opposing offense down as they start to throw it more trying to play catchup.

Since the Raiders are going to be without Ruggs and Edwards this week, the focus for the defense just needs to stop Josh Jacobs and when the Raiders do pass get pressure on Derek Carr.
