The Buffalo Bills fell to the New England Patriots in what can only be described as embarrassing. The unfortunate trend of Buffalo struggling on offense continued for a third consecutive week as the team just didn't have enough time to answer New England's late touchdown.

There were far more positives than negatives coming from this game and the team finds themselves in a situation where they need to right some of their wrongs, and quickly, as they are on a short week before facing the Tampa Bay Buccanneers on Thursday Night football.

Another issue may have reared its head in the contest, one that has been plaguing the team all season: Injuries.

In case you were thinking, "Man, we didn't see much of Von Miller against the Patriots," you weren't wrong. The superstar pass rusher, while slowly gearing back up, only played in 6 snaps the entire game.

This is far less than he has been playing since making his triumphant return a few weeks ago. Still, he wasn't on the field nearly as long as fans would hope which leads to the next discovery, a potential injury that Miller sustained during the game.

Thad Brown, Sports Director for WROC-TV, went to X, formerly known as Twitter, to share a video of Miller during the contest in which you could see him take a rep and then limp toward the sideline. 

Now, the team hasn't made any official injury designation and Miller himself has said they're just ramping him up, but the talented pass rusher didn't play after this series for the rest of the contest, as Thad Brown reported.

The team has suffered through enough injuries this season and while Miller isn't at 100% quite yet, the team desperately needs him as an anchor on an impressive defensive line. Put bluntly, the morale and output of this team cannot afford another big injury like Miller's after the poor play and some tough opponents coming up.

Here's hoping it's nothing serious and Miller will be back to increased snaps as soon as Thursday.
