Brock Bowers, specifically, is who they will be keying on. Potentially being without Christian Gonzalez and Carlton Davis to cover Bowers, the Patriots' defense is going to have to come up with something ingenious to stop him.

Positive signalMatchup

Bowers faces weakened Patriots secondary; mismatch opportunity.

Bowers is specifically identified as the Patriots' key defensive target against the Raiders. The source notes that the Patriots shut down the Bills' tight end duo of Dalton Kincade and Dawson Knox, but potentially being without Christian Gonzalez and Carlton Davis to cover Bowers creates a significant mismatch. The Raiders run more 12/13 personnel (two- and three-tight-end sets) than anyone else in the league, and lining up the rest of the Raiders' pass catchers against practice squad players is a mismatch the Raiders must capitalize on.
