‘If there’s an area that New England has been unable to firm up defensively it’s their play on first down. They have the worst run defense in the league on first down and rank last in first down efficiency on defense where they give up a play of four yards or more a whopping 56 percent of the time (56.6%). Buffalo’s offense has to take advantage of the Patriots first down deficiencies and stay ahead of the sticks to extend drives and win the time of possession battle.’
