Bills vs Browns prediction, keys as Josh Allen faces NFL's top pass defense

Story byDemocrat and ChronicleSal Maiorana, Rochester Democrat and ChronicleFri, December 19, 2025 at 8:01 AM UTC·12 min readORCHARD PARK - There may not be a player in the NFL who produces more wow moment highlights than Buffalo Bills quarterback Josh Allen. Week after week he does things that blow your mind, and you sometimes feel sorry for the dudes he just exploited and embarrassed. AdvertisementAdvertisementAdvertisementCleveland Browns edge rusher Myles Garrett does the same thing on the defensive side of the ball, and Allen is acutely aware that he’ll be in Garrett’s crosshairs Sunday afternoon when the two superstars meet at Huntington Bank Field, and Allen could potentially become involved in a history-making moment, one that he’d love to avoid.“He’s an absolutely tremendous football player, one of the greatest of all time. I do like highlight tapes, but I don’t like being a part of other people’s highlight tapes,” said Allen, who is next up on Garrett’s destruction list in his pursuit of the NFL’s single-season sack record. If he gets to Allen twice, he will break the mark of 22.5 currently shared by JJ Watt (who will be at the stadium broadcasting the game for CBS) and Michael Strahan. Bills left tackle Dion Dawkins, who will get the primary assignment because Garrett lines up mostly on his side, has faced Garrett only twice but despite the small sample size, Dawkins said Garrett is the best player he’s ever gone against.

Key Highlights

  • And right tackle Spencer Brown, who will surely have a few reps against Garrett, conceded that, “He’s gonna make plays, that’s a given.
  • Hopefully we can prevent that but he’s a walking Hall of Famer out there.”The last time Josh Allen and the Bills faced Myles Garrett and the Browns, it was a 2022 Buffalo victory in a game that was moved to Detroit because of a snowstorm in Orchard Park. Brown then took a different tack than Allen regarding possibly being part of history should he be the one charged with allowing the potential record-breaking sack.

  • “If it does happen on me, I guess it’d be like, ‘Yeah kids, that’s me right there getting absolutely blasted.’ Hopefully it doesn’t happen, but the win is the main focus.”In addition to leading the league in sacks, Garrett is No.
  • 1 among all edge rushers with a 27% pass rush win rate according to Pro Football Focus, and while his individual skills are paramount to his success, Bills guard O’Cyrus Torrence said being surrounded by other good players on defense also helps Garrett.“I feel like the defense around him plays much better than people think,” Torrence said, and he’s right. The Browns have the No.
  • 1 pass defense in the league (169.0 yards per game), jumping ahead of the Bills last week; they are No.
