3 players to watch for the Buffalo Bills

  • QB Josh Allen – The Bills franchise QB has been dealing with a shoulder injury that required X-rays just moments after their win over the New York Giants. Can he overcome the injury for yet another dominant performance against the Patriots?
  • LB Dorian Williams – With Buffalo losing Matt Milano for what is believed to be the season, it'll be up to Williams to step up to the plate in his absence. Can Sean McDermott unlock something special in the rookie, or will the Patriots look to expose the young linebacker throughout the contest?
  • TE Dalton KincaidBuffalo's first-round draft pick hasn't been utilized at a high enough capacity in the passing game so far this season. With him being cleared of the concussion protocol, this could be the breakout game that the Bills Mafia had been hoping for.
