Impact Dodson recorded a new career high in tackles while starting in place of injured middle linebacker Tremaine Edmunds (groin) for the second game this season.

Logs career-best outing Sunday Dodson recorded 11 tackles (seven solo) and one sack during Sunday's 38-3 victory over the Steelers.

If Edmunds misses additional time, Dodson would again be the prime beneficiary for extra playing time. The Bills head to Kansas City in Week 6 for what should be another instant classic.
