After last Sunday’s enormous win over the mighty Patriots, the Bills have a different kind of challenge this week in Cincinnati. The young Bengals are going to desperate for a win after last week’s debacle against San Francisco, and you can bet they’ll come ready to play Sunday. Who needs to step up and make sure Buffalo gets out of Cincy 4-0?
CB Leodis McKelvin – I’ll go with McKelvin here even though I could have picked any of the Bills’ corners. With the injury to Aaron Williams and Terrence McGee still out, Buffalo is really thin at corner. The Bengals aren’t exactly the Patriots when it comes to passing the ball well, but rookie WR A.J. Green (15 catches, 194 yards, 2 TD so far) is going to be a star. McKelvin (or whoever is on Green) needs to shut him down and not let the Bengals hit-or-miss offense get on track.

NT Kyle Williams – The 2010 breakout star has been a bit quiet thus far in 2011. If he could find some of his dominating 2011 form and break down the pocket on a consistent basis, it would make life very tough for Bengals rookie QB Andy Dalton. Lord knows the Bills need to find some quarterback pressure from somewhere.
