Last season’s offensive line for the Buffalo Bills was the best one that Josh Allen has had since coming to Buffalo. They stayed healthy throughout the year and it played a major factor into Allen winning his first MVP award. They are now set to return for 2025 and the hope is that they can repeat last year’s performance.
Even though they are a fantastic pass-blocking group and can open up running lanes, they will still have their hands full with some of the best defensive linemen in the league this coming season.
Top defensive linemen Bills will face in 2025
5.) DL Vita Vea - Tampa Bay Buccaneers
Vita Vea is a fantastic run-stuffer right in the middle of the line for Tampa Bay. Coming off his second Pro Bowl season where he had a career-high seven sacks, Vea is looking to continue his success and Buffalo will have a tough challenge when the Bucs come to Buffalo in Week 11.
4.) DL Quinnen Williams - New York Jets
The Bills are very familiar with Quinnen Williams when they go up against the Jets and he tends to make life difficult for the Bills. He’s been a Pro Bowler the last three seasons and with having Aaron Glenn as his new head coach, there’s a chance that Williams can get back to the player he was back in 2022 where he was an All-Pro player.
3.) DL Cameron Heyward - Pittsburgh Steelers
The 14-year veteran is still going strong and he has been super reliable for the Steelers. He is the heart and soul of the defense in Pittsburgh and he is a tone setter. He can line up anywhere inside or outside of the line and he’ll be disruptive no matter what. Coming off an All-Pro season, there are no signs of Heyward slowing down.
2.) DL Jalen Carter - Philadelphia Eagles
Jalen Carter is off to a strong Hall of Fame career in Philadelphia. He was a runner-up for Defensive Rookie of the Year two seasons ago. Then last season, he earned Pro Bowl honors, Second-Team All-Pro honors, and earned votes for Defensive of the Year. Carter is the future of the defense with the Eagles and heading into the third year of his rookie contract, Carter is set to grow even more as a player.
1.) DL Chris Jones - Kansas City Chiefs
Whenever the Bills and Chiefs face off against each other, Chris Jones is always a problem for Buffalo. He can take down double team blocks, make a play at or behind the line of scrimmage, and ultimately be the reason why the Chiefs gain momentum to make a second-half comeback. There’s no one else who has made life more difficult for the Bills’ offensive line in recent memory.
