NFL: New England Patriots vs Buffalo Bills game's keys and pre-game analysis

PATRIOTS

- Contain Taylor in the pocket so Ninkovich and Jones will have to do a great job forcing him to be a pocket passer
- Run tought between the tackles with Blount due to the absence of K.Williams
- No Edelman and NO Lewis = Amendola and White will have to step up and provide something similar of what their teammates usually provide
- McCourthy will need to help over the top on Watkins wherever he ll be aligned due to the poor quality of the Pats' CB
- Cannon and Vollmer will have to limit the pass rush action of Williams and Hughes to give WRs time to get free

Key Players

Amendola
C.Jones

BILLS

- Double cover Gronkowski even counting the absence of Lewis and Edelman he ll be a huge target for Brady
- Put up great blocks especially on the edges to let McCoy turn the corner
- Estabilish a good running game to open up play action pass (good situation to let Taylor scramble even if the contain will be on)
- Put pressure on Brady with the front 7 without blitzing
- Use Clay in passing game to keep Pats' LB away from McCoy and Williams
