Top 3 things we learned from Bills at Patriots | Week 16

‘”I think for us, it’s taking it one game at a time,” said Mitch Morse. “Understanding that our division games are extremely important no matter who we’re playing. When you come into Foxborough and play a Bill Belichick team, you know it’s going to be a tough battle. I’m just proud of the guys.”‘

Bills activate John Brown and place him on Reserve/COVID-19 list

Bills Today | Win gives Buffalo clarity on its potential AFC playoff seed

‘Buffalo’s 38-9 win over the Patriots locked the Bills into at least the No. 3 seed in the playoffs based off the New York Times playoff simulator. If the Bills beat the Dolphins on Sunday, they will be the No. 2 seed. If the Bills drop their final game of the regular season, they need the Browns to beat the Steelers in order to stay the No. 2 seed. If the Bills lose and the Steelers win, Buffalo will be the No. 3 seed.’

‘The point is, this game isn’t meaningless to Belichick — whose team hasn’t scored a touchdown in the past two games — or the vast number of marginal players populating his roster.

‘But other than the two Brady-asterisk games, the Bills haven’t won in Massachusetts since ‘99 at Foxboro Stadium, three years before its successor, Gillette, opened. And in those 17 games, the Patriots have outscored Buffalo by an average of 29-16.’

Why Doug Flutie, Thurman Thomas, Steve Christie don’t recall Bills sweeping Patriots in 1999

‘“Miami and Buffalo are strong. And the Patriots, even though they managed to win six games so far, they’ve not been good. They find a way to compete and be close, but they just aren’t a good football team. It’s fun to see. It’s a transition of power. And I’ll tell you, what I want more than anything, the Bills have to finish strong in order to keep momentum going into the playoffs.”’

3 matchups to watch: Bills at Patriots on Monday Night Football

‘In the first meeting in Week 8, Belichick’s defense sat back and essentially begged the Bills to run the ball. “Here: Take our rushing yards,” the Pats offered. Rather than try to throw into the teeth of a dime defense (which the Pats played almost the entire game), the Bills complied. They ran 38 times for a season-high 190 yards.’

‘That takes us to tonight where Allen and the Bills will look to sweep the Patriots for the first time since 1999. Buffalo’s first matchup against New England this season went down to the wire with the Bills causing a turnover late to secure a 24-21 win. Buffalo’s offense ran through Devin Singletary and Zack Moss with the duo combining to rush for 167 yards and two scores on 28 carries. New England’s run defense remains one of the worst in the league so Buffalo could look to test New England’s run defense on Monday night.’
