Bills LT Dion Dawkins highlights team bonding as key to four-game win streak
Mark Konezny-USA TODAY Sports

The Buffalo Bills have been one of the hottest teams in football over the last month.

In the last four weeks, Buffalo is 4-0, and have outscored their opponents by a combined score of 102-60. Not only that, but the Bills' defense ranks fourth in EPA per play in that span, and their EPA per rush on offense ranks third in the league. 

Buffalo has hit their stride at the perfect time. When left tackle Dion Dawkins was asked about what got them out of the 6-6 slump, he highlighted team unity as a key for their recent success.

"The team became more of a team," Dawkins said. "It was all of the dinners, all of the hanging, all of the UNO games, the card games, the everything, cornhole, all of it. It was a little bit of all of that of guys meshing together closer and understanding that we could have all of the talent in the world, but when you play for your brother — like, genuinely play for your brother — you know, we’re an unstoppable group."

Buffalo will need that team unity to keep showing up on the field this weekend. One more win and they will overcome a three game deficit in the division to win the AFC East.
