Trenches That Move the Game | Buffalo Bills News

Buffalo Bills’ Dion Dawkins and Spencer Brown, the unsung heroes of the trenches, just landed at No. 5 on Sports Illustrated’s top tackle duos for 2026 — and for good reason. These homegrown, day-two draft picks have been the anchors of Josh Allen’s success, helping him post the fewest sacks in the league in 2024 and still giving him time to make magic in 2025. They’re not just pass protectors — they’ve been vital to Buffalo’s league-leading rushing attack last season. Both started as rookies, earned multiple Pro Bowls, and signed massive extensions: Dawkins on a $60M, 3-year deal, Brown on a $72M, 4-year pact. While the flashy plays steal the spotlight, it’s these two that make it all possible — and now, the league is finally recognizing their quiet, game-changing dominance.
