The Bills and Patriots open their season series on “Thursday Night Football,” and it could be a doozy.
The Bills course-corrected in their last two games, with a win over the Browns followed by a thrilling victory over the Lions on Thanksgiving. As is the case with most NFL powerhouse teams, though, the Bills have proven to be flawed.
The Patriots’ stellar defense has an opportunity to put a hurting on the Bills come Thursday. New England is coming off a Turkey Night loss to the Vikings, though, and questions around the offense have continued throughout the season. Mac Jones has taken a step back in Year 2, though his recent performances should alleviate some doubt among Pats fans.
