In today’s edition of the Buffalo Bills daily links, we get you ready for the Bills (5-2) Week 8 clash with the New England Patriots (2-4) at Bills Stadium.
We start off by examining whether quarterback Josh Allen can flip the script and reverse his fortunes against Bill Belichick and the Patriots, who have had Allen’s number through his first two seasons in the NFL.
Among the other keys to the game: Can Buffalo’s run defense contain New England’s ground game? Can the Bills weather the impending inclement weather that’s predicted for game time? Can Allen and the passing game can take advantage of the absence of reigning Defensive Player of the Year, Stephon Gilmore?
We get score predictions from beat writers and NFL analysts, discover the story behind why Belichick wasn’t able to hide punter Corey Bojorquez from the Bills, hear from governor Andrew Cuomo on the state’s plans to get Bills fans back into home games this year, and more!
