‘For the offensive tackles, the benefit of home-field advantage matters at least a little, more than other positions, even if they don’t want to admit it. Kansas City and Buffalo are two of the toughest places to play in the NFL, with two of the most rabid fan bases. The deafening noise from the home crowd when the opponent has the ball gives at least a small edge to the home team’s edge rushers.’

They have the ability to go left or right, see down the field and make throws that not many people in the league can make,” longtime New England Patriots defensive back Devin McCourty said. “I think the second part of that is that they’re both mobile enough to really hurt you. We saw that when they played against each other. It wasn’t fun as a defensive player [to watch], but it was also cool to see their greatness show in the back and forth because it was those two guys making plays.”‘
