What to watch for in Bills-Patriots on M from seestyle's blog

Having already clinched their first AFC East title since 1995, the Buffalo Bills (11-3) enter the final game of the season no longer looking like the "little brother."A win over the New England Patriots (6-8) would be a form of poetic justice Buffalo hasn't experienced in quite some time.Allen & Diggs eyeing milestonesWhat's not to love about and ? If you're coach Sean McDemott, that should be a pretty short list. After connecting for 90-plus receiving yards in six of the last seven games, the JaVale McGee Jersey first-time Pro Bowlers will look to do more damage than they did when these teams met in Week 7. Bad weather noticeably affected the pa sing game for both clubs but Diggs still managed to stand out, grabbing 92 of Allen's 154 yards in a . It'll be interesting to see what those numbers look like now that Mother Nature isn't projected to be a factor. Since Week 8, Allen has been on a tear, completing 69.8% of his pa ses while serving as the catalyst behind seven straight 24-plus point outings. Larry Nance Jersey He's Marquese Chriss Jersey accounted for multiple scores in each of the last six; if he runs for two more, he'll become the second QB with 30-plus pa sing and 10-plus rushing TDs in a season ( , 2015). Often the one making big plays to help set up scoring drives, Diggs will again match up with ballhawk who picked off Allen last time. Diggs -- the NFL's current receptions leader -- needs just 55 yards to break the Bills' single-season record for receiving yards (1,368).Can the Pats run their way to a win this time?Last week, owned up to his team's after it was eliminated from playoff contention for the first time since 2008. This week, he and the Pats have a chance to avenge one of their most heart-breaking lo ses. It was Newton who fumbled on a five-yard scramble in the closing moments of the last game, ending a potential game-winning drive. As they have on several occasions in 2020, the Pats gained more on the ground (182) than through the air (174); pulling that Jarrett Allen Jersey off again should be a steeper challenge this go-around. The Bills have allowed 87.3 rush YPG during their four-game win streak -- compared to 135 YPG in Weeks 1-10 -- thanks to the improved play of , and , to name a few. Still, it's hard to believe the run-heavy Pats would suddenly switch their approach, even if leading rusher (ankle) sits again. Considering how ill-prepared New England is Cedi Osman Jersey for a shootout, avoiding an early deficit and finding a way to control the clock with sustained drives will be as important as ever.
