‘The most significant of those players marked questionable would have to be Poyer, who would be the third starting member of the Bills’ secondary to miss the game if he is unable to suit up on Sunday. That would leave rookie cornerbacks Christian Benford and Kaiir Elam, both already expected to start with the absence of Jackson, and both neophyte safeties Jaquan Johnson and Damar Hamlin, Johnson already expected to start in Hyde’s absence, to roam the Bills’ secondary. That’s an unfavorable proposition for a team set to go up against one of the hottest aerial attacks in the league.’

Opinion: Capaccio: Bills at Dolphins: Sal’s keys, notes and stats
‘With so many secondary players banged up for the Bills, it will be even more critical to get to Tagovailoa and not allow him to launch the ball downfall to his speedsters. The Bills have done an excellent job of getting pressure with their front four this season, and not needing to blitz. That would be the ideal scenario again Sunday so they can keep more defenders in coverage. If they can continue to get home with four it will go along way in not allowing as many opportunities for the Dolphins passing game to get going.’
