1. STRENGTH VS. STRENGTH
The Redskins’ 21 sacks are tied for most in the NFL; the Bills’ seven sacks allowed are the fewest in the league. Something has to give.
The statistical match-up is a wash but where the Redskins can and should take advantage is against Buffalo’s patchwork left side of the line. Kyle Levitre is the third starting left tackle (moving from left guard) and former Redskins draft pick flameout Chad Rinehart starts at left guard.
“[Fitzpatrick] gets the ball out of his hands fast,” Redskins defensive coordinator Jim Haslett said. “I know he’s really smart and he knows where he’s going to throw it. The protection, they throw quickly.”
