THE New Orleans Saints against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers may not seem like an interesting matchup on paper, but Chase Young vs. Tristian Wirfs will be an interesting battle to watch in the season finale.
Young’s pass rushing ability has received greater respect in recent weeks, mainly due to his two sacks against the Washington Commanders.
He. along with Cameron Jordan, has been the face of the improvements made to the defensive line since the move to Brian Young as defensive coordinator. Young has the fifth most pressures in the NFL.
Wirfs has been one of the best left tackles in the league and could make an All-Pro team. His 4.3 pressure rating allowed is the lowest among all left tackles with 200 pass blocks.
Wirfs and Young battled each other in Week 6 for 26 snaps. Young pressured the quarterback once. Both are formidable talents, so Young could get the better of Wirfs. The likelihood of that happening is one reason this match is one to watch.
