Patriots worried about ‘second play’ with Bills QB Josh Allen
Josh Allen’s status as one of the best quarterbacks in the NFL is undisputed. What makes him such a dangerous and productive player is not just his arm talent, size and versatility, but how he uses a combination of his rare skills to become arguably the most frustration-inducing player in all of pro football. As […]
How the Patriots plan to replace Christian Gonzalez against the Bills
The New England Patriots’ task against the unbeaten Buffalo Bills this week has gotten significantly tougher. Christian Gonzalez, the team’s top cornerback and best overall player this season, has officially been ruled out of the contest due to a shoulder injury sustained last week.

Patriots make decision on starting right guard vs. Bills

NFL predictions: Will the Patriots upset the Bills in Week 4?
Arguably the most impactful win of the New England Patriots’ 2025 season came against their biggest rivals.

Ben Brown ‘ready to roll’ should Patriots call upon him against Bills
Entering 2026, right guard was supposed to be a position of strength for the New England Patriots. Mike Onwenu had been their best offensive linemen for several years now, and even with plenty of football under his belt has remained a top-tier if somewhat underrated blocker in the run and pass game. However, three games […]

Bills TE Dalton Kincaid a focal point for Patriots defense this week
The Buffalo Bills offense has been one of the best in the NFL so far this season, and a big reason why is the play of its top tight end. Dalton Kincaid has been fantastic lately. And don’t just take our word for it: that is exactly how New England Patriots head coach Mike Vrabel […]

It remains to be seen how many there will be in 2026, but things […]
Patriots News: Pats-Bills keys to victory, jump-starting the McOffense
Andrew Callahan wrote an article today, telling Drake Maye to ‘steer into the skid at Buffalo’. Because it’s behind a paywall, I’ll share a few excerpts here: “Drake Maye, once the face of everything glowing about this franchise, is now the driver and engine of their failures. Maye needs to, in Mike Vrabel’s words, loosen his grip. […]

The New England Patriots released their first injury report leading up to the Week 4 game with the Buffalo Bills on Wednesday, and besides including multiple starters as absentees it also featured quarterback Drake Maye.
