‘The Patriots trounce down the field with a 12 play, 65-yard drive. Newton keeps it himself and runs towards the endzone, but Justin Zimmer forces Newton to fumble the ball on the 14-yard line and it’s recovered by the Bills!’

‘“We came in here with a plan, made a statement to run the ball today. Today was going to be our day to run the football. The Patriots are a great team, they had a great defensive plan but we just kept it personal that we were gonna run the ball today,” Bills left tackle Dion Dawkins said.’

‘“That’s critical even for myself you know you work hard and you try and be consistent through the weeks and that’s important. This is an emotional win for our entire city, a lot’s gone into this to get us where we are and there’s still a lot of football yet to be played and a lot of things we have to get better at but I’m gonna go home tonight and just take an hour or two to enjoy being around my family,” McDermott said.’

‘“Once I got to the sideline, everybody was hugging me. I don’t know who was first or who was the last, it was an onslaught of people congratulating me,” Zimmer said.’

‘The Bills has struggled to get the establish the run for most of the season but it was a different story against the Patriots. What changed? Starting guard Jon Feliciano made his season debut and it clearly made a difference. Feliciano brings a nastiness to the Bills offensive line and the rushing attack benefited. The Bills finished with 190 yards on the ground. Feliciano versatility paid dividends in his season debut, he started at left guard and moved to center when Mitch Morse left the game with a concussion.’

‘After making the Bills first interception of the season against the Jets in Week Seven, rookie cornerback Dane Jackson was elevated from the practice squad for Buffalo. Defensive tackle Brandin Bryant and safety Josh Thomas were all elevated from the practice squad for Sunday’s game vs. New England.’
