This game pretty much sums up the 2024 Patriots. Drake Maye is a ton of fun. Lack of talent shows up everywhere. Some strange coaching decisions. Massively costly mistakes. Jerod Mayo way too conservative.

Marte Mapu is considered a heady player. If that ball is marked down at the one, we may have to reconsider.

Rhamondre Stevenson back to his old self, snatching souls. Poor DB got trucked. 14-0, Patriots, just like we all expected.

One of the few times this year Jerod Mayo has coached aggressively. A fake punt from the Pats 22 and it pays off. Dell Pettus up the gut for 3 yards.

New England Patriots cornerback Marcus Jones has been dealing with a hip injury that has kept him out of practice the entire week.
The team has depended on him to handle the slot duties in the defensive backfield, along with serving as a primary punt returner. He’s an electric playmaker with the ball in his hands, and it has shown in his ability to get the offense in good field position consistently.
On the defensive side of the ball, he has emerged as one of the key contributors at corner for a Patriots team that has struggled throughout the year in slowing down opposing offenses

New England Patriots left guard Cole Strange is set to be active in his first game of the season against the Buffalo Bills.
The 2022 first-round draft pick hasn’t played since suffering his season-ending knee injury last year. He has started in every game since coming to New England.
His return will give the struggling Patriots offensive line a much-needed boost up front. It will also give the Patriots’ coaching staff a chance to preview a new offensive line combination before the offseason

The New England Patriots got off to a hot start against the Buffalo Bills on Sunday afternoon.
They scored a touchdown on their first drive, courtesy of a Drake Maye-Kayshon Boutte connection. The touchdown was part of a drive that took six plays, 58 yards and 2:59 off the clock. It was Boutte’s second touchdown reception of the season and Maye’s 12th touchdown pass.
Maye delivered a dot over Bills defenders that landed perfectly in the waiting arms of Boutte, who did the rest by running it into the end zone for a touchdown

The New England Patriots listed six players as inactive ahead of Sunday’s Week 16 matchup against the division rival Buffalo Bills.
Cornerback Marcus Jones was already ruled out on Friday, but the Patriots will also be without safety Jabrill Peppers. Those are two major losses in the secondary when facing MVP-worthy quarterback Josh Allen and the high-powered Bills offense.
It’s going to put tremendous pressure on the backend of the defense to hold up against Buffalo’s continued aerial assault

WGRZ ran a segment this morning on the Josh Allen Lookalike Contest. Here are their reported first- and second-place winners:
@carlifarley: Where are the pics from the Josh Allen lookalike contest??

Late-game active/inactives: — #Dolphins WR Tyreek Hill is active. — #Bills DBs S Damar Hamlin, S Taylor Rapp, and CB Rasul Douglas are all out. — #49ers DE Nick Bosa is up. — #Vikings S Harrison Smith is out.

That's a REALLY tough PI call on Kaiir Elam on third-and-goal.

It's been a battle for the #Bills today, but James Cook stays hot. pic.x.com/VcVOXiVVBA

Mack Hollins arrives BAREFOOT in a WILD outfit. 😂😂😂 pic.x.com/CsjirLRTav

Bills inactives vs. Patriots: WR Curtis Samuel OT Tylan Grable DT DeWayne Carter LB Matt Milano CB Rasul Douglas S Taylor Rapp S Damar Hamlin

After only two plays out of the game due to injury, left guard David Edwards has returned to begin the fourth quarter.

Bills defense has now surrendered TDs on 6 straight drives (back half of the Lions game was messy).
@MikeGiardi: There are yards to be gained against this Bills defense. 3 starters in the secondary are out, as is Matt Milano. https://t.co/9sdgq5vksD

Before Ray Davis suits up Sunday, there will be player prop bets available for the 4:25 PM ET kickoff, live on CBS. Davis’ Buffalo Bills (11-3) and the New England Patriots (3-11) square off in a Week 16 matchup between AFC East opponents at Highmark Stadium.

It’s hard to quantify all the ways in which Greg Rousseau’s 6-foot-7 height and 83¼-inch wingspan impact plays on the football field. Rousseau didn’t get an official statistic for the pivotal play in Sunday’s game, but his massive frame helped…
