Four keys for the Buffalo Bills to beat the New England Patriots
‘In the bills’ three-point loss to New England earlier this season, that was their downfall. The Patriots scored 10 of their 23 points off buffalo turnovers, gifted extra opportunities. Quarterback Josh Allen, who lost a fumble and threw an interception in the previous meeting, knows the team must clean things up. “If we go back and we can say we turned it over I think three times that game – you’re not gonna win many football games doing that,” Allen said Wednesday. The bills have had 12 turnovers in their past five games. That is not a streak that can continue if they hope to win meaningful games in December.’

Bills-Patriots: Who you got? Buffalo News writers make their predictions for Sunday’s game
‘after starting 1-2, the Patriots have won 10 straight. unfortunately for the Bills, I think that continues on Sunday. The possibility of not having cornerback Christian Benford looms large – he’s been their best player on defense in back-to-back weeks. On the offensive side of the ball, the Bills will want to establish the run early. James Cook’s 49 rushing yards on 15 carries in the last meeting wasn’t enough. The Bills notch a rare December loss in Foxborough. Patriots, 30-28.’
Bills Mailbag: What to make of Christian Benford’s PFF grade against the Bengals
‘My thinking there is because he was only targeted twice, and did not allow a completion, Benford simply wasn’t challenged enough to drastically impact his coverage grade either positively or negatively. You could argue that the reason he was only targeted twice is because of his coverage, but someone from PFF would have to explain whether that factors into the grade.’

How Buffalo Bills’ Josh Allen is making sure ‘everybody eats’ on his o-line this holiday season

Bills vs. Patriots: Three Bold Predictions For Sunday’s AFC East Showdown in Foxboro

Bills-Patriots matchup takes on added significance

Why Bills Mafia should embrace fun rivalry with Patriots, Drake Maye in AFC East
‘Of course the Bills don’t want to lose the division and have to fight for a wild card spot, and no one is saying Bills Mafia should root in a different direction than that. But for the seasons ahead, these battles between Josh Allen and Drake Maye could be some of the best games in football. Maye reminds, at times, of a young, on-the-rise Allen. The two have become friends, too.’
Opinion: Capaccio: Bills at Patriots: Sal’s keys, notes and stats
‘The last time these two teams played, New England allowed the Bills just 4.1 yards per carry on 29 running plays. They’ve been one of the best run-stoping teams in the NFL all season. But since losing defensive tackle Milton Williams in Week 11 due to a high ankle sprain, teams have had much more success against New England on the ground. Including that contest, the Patriots have given up over 5.1 yards per carry in three of their last four games.’
