Buffalo Bills 22 NE Patriots 37 recap

Pats/Bills : In a high scoring game, Tom Brady led the Patriots to a big division win against the Bills in Buffalo, 37 to 22. Brady was superb, throwing for 361 yards and 4 TD : that's the 60th in Brady career that the former Michigan Wolverines throw for at least 300 yards. The california guy used all of his weapons, finding 10 different targets : LaFell had 97 yards in 4 receptions and 2 TD, Gronkowski had 7 catches and Julian Edelman was once again the go to guy, with 9 receptions for 90 yards. The 2 TE system was once again utililize very smartly in the red zone by New England, with Tim Wright catches a 1 yard TD to open up the score in the 1st quarter. On the other side, Buffalo was lead by Kyle Orton, the new QB since E.J Manuel was demoted from the starting lineup. Orton, the former Purdue guy was pretty good, throwing for 299 yards and 2 TD : yes he was on his game. With the high rated WR Sammy Watkins going of the Patriots big free agent acquisition Darrelle Revis, the Bills needed other players to step up and some young guys really showed up : Robert Woods catches 7 balls for 78 yards and a TD, Chris Hogan had 5 receptions and a TD. Scott Chandler had a big day too, as the TE grab 6 receptions for 105 yards. The problem for Buffalo was the running game with all sorts of issues for Fred Jackson and C.J Spiller, who crossed the 2014 season like a ghost, after splashing into the scene two years ago.The Bills were also dominating by the Pats pass rusher, with Chandler Jones and Rob Ninkovich dominated the Bills offensive line. One other thing to say is that Steven Ridley, the Pats top RB got injured and we can be afraid of an important knee injury, so Shane Vereen or Brian Bolden should see more playing time in the next few weeks. Tom Brady in now 23-2 all time against the Bills, and the Pats are on an interesting 2 game winning streak. On the other side, the Bills have loss two in a row and have now a record of 3 wins and 3 loses, while New England lead the AFC East win 4 wins in 6 games. Brady and his teammates host the struggling Jets thursday, while Buffalo is playing at home against the Vikings on sunday.
