BillsBeat - December 31, 2023
Bills activate defensive tackle DaQuan Jones from injured reserve
‘Jones reinforces a defensive front that is without Jordan Phillips, who was placed on injured reserve last week after having wrist surgery. Jones started the first five games of the season before getting hurt in the Bills loss against the Jaguars in London on Oct. 8, compiling 10 tackles and 2.5 sacks.’
How to watch Buffalo Bills vs. New England Patriots: Live stream, TV channel, start time for Sunday's NFL game
‘Here’s a few offensive stats to keep an eye on ahead of Sunday’s game: The Bills command a daunting offense this season, having averaged 3.2 touchdowns per game (they’re ranked fourth in touchdowns overall). It’s a different story for the Patriots, though, as they’ve been averaging only 1.6 touchdowns per game. Will the Bills continue their march to the end zone, or will the Patriots flip the script?’

Opinion: Capaccio: Patriots at Bills: Sal's keys, notes and stats
‘However, Zappe has a tendency to hold on to the ball too long when in trouble and has been sacked 13 times over those four games. The Patriots’ 13 sacks given up over the last four weeks are tied for seventh most in the NFL. Sean McDermott and the Bills defense needs to confuse Zappe, to force him to look around longer, then have a greater chance to get him down.’
Opinion: Sneaky Joe: Later Bill
‘Bill Belichick went 32-3 against the Bills with Tom Brady at quarterback. Without Brady? Belichick’s record against the Bills is 5-9 without Brady, including the most embarrassing playoff loss we’ve ever seen.’
Bills activate DaQuan Jones off injured reserve
‘Jones is listed on the Bills injury report as questionable for Sunday’s game, but the 32-year-old has been a full participant in practice this week and head coach Sean McDermott indicated Jones will suit up against the Patriots barring any sort of setback.’
Carucci Take2: It shouldn’t be close, but will Bills let Patriots hang around?
‘In the Bills’ previous meeting with New England, they played so far down, they couldn’t stand tall when the defense had a chance to close out the game. The result was an inexcusable loss that has contributed to their current desperation.’
Thad’s Three Things: Bills vs. Patriots
‘Jones immediately becomes the team’s best run defender (as long as Matt Milano is sidelined). He almost always shuts the door on his rush lane and he’ll take pressure off Ed Oliver up front. Jones will help open playmaking lanes for the smaller, lighter linebackers behind him that desperately need it. He will also add to the pass rush and, considering the current state of Von Miller, likely becomes the team’s third best pass rusher.’
Bills activate DT DaQuan Jones off injured reserve list
‘The Bills are also signing OL Germain Ifedi back to the practice squad and releasing S Tre Norwood from the practice squad. Jones is now on the 53-man roster is expected to be active for Sunday’s game against the Patriots.’
