No Miller, no problem for the Bills defense

‘What the Bills did have with Shaq Lawson who, among other things, single-handedly short-circuited a New England drive in the second quarter that nearly resulted in a safety. His teammates were already blown away by the player Lawson has been during his second stint with the Bills.’

‘Buffalo’s run game wasn’t quite as productive as it had been the last three games when it eclipsed 160 yards, but it was effective enough in keeping the Bills offense on schedule. It also killed an enormous amount of time on the clock as James Cook and Devin Singletary combined for 115 yards on 27 carries.’

Plenty at stake in Bills-Patriots matchup

‘The telling statistic for the Bills is that they are 0-2 in the AFC East, and a loss tonight would severely damage their hopes of a third-straight division crown, to say nothing of possibly jeopardizing a spot in this year’s playoffs.’

Full AFC East has become a ‘division rivalry’

‘Resurgent Miami is on top with the same 8-3 record as Buffalo, but with the advantage of a head-to-head victory. The vastly improved Jets are 7-4 but have lost twice to the 6-5 Pats, who are very much alive in the playoff race. That’s why tomorrow night’s game at Gillette Stadium is so important for the Bills, who are 0-2 in the division.’

The Perfect Game: As Bills face New England, a look back at playoff game when ‘everything fell into place’

‘Each phase of the Bills was operating at peak level in their 47-17 destruction of the Patriots. Sure, it won’t mean much when the Bills (8-3) play at New England (6-5) on Thursday night – this is a new season with new play-callers, new players, etc. But since the teams haven’t played each other since Jan. 15, it was worth a shot canvassing the locker room for their memories of “The Perfect Game.”’

How we see it: News writers offer predictions for Bills vs. Patriots

‘The Bills rushed for 114 in the regular-season win at New England and 174 in the wild-card win, with Allen producing 64 and 66 rushing yards, respectively. I think if the Bills get to 125 rushing yards, regardless of who’s running, they win. The Bills are the better team when healthy. I don’t believe in the Pats’ offense, but I believe in Bill Belichick. Patriots, 23-20.’
