The Buffalo Bills offense was near the top of all statistical categories in 2022, finishing second in both total yards per game at 397.6 and points per game at 28.4. The rushing attack racked up 100 or more yards in 16 of 18 games this year. A quick gander at advanced stats, Buffalo finished second overall in Football Outsider’s DVOA (Defense-adjusted Value Over Average). The Bills were seventh in PFF (Pro Football Focus) overall grade at 86.6, and the 84.1 grade in passing was good enough for third. We know most of the offensive credit goes to Josh Allen, and rightfully so, but the main one keeping his backside (figuratively and literally) clean is left tackle Dion Dawkins. “Protecting the chaos engine that is Josh Allen is not easy, and, as the trope goes, if you haven’t heard much about Dawkins on the field, that’s a good sign for an offensive lineman,” said @LowBuffa. He couldn’t be more correct in that assessment, and that is why Dawkins ranks 7th on our list of the top 10 most important Bills from the 2022 NFL season.
