"The Bills are a tough matchup, no matter where or when you play them. They have the NFL's current King of the Hill, 2024's MVP, quarterback Josh Allen. Allen is a 6'5', 237-pound battering ram who's also completing 69.4 percent of his passes. That's the highest clip of his career. He's getting better with age, a truly frightening proposition. Allen has 19 touchdowns with 10 interceptions. When he's not carving you up like a Thanksgiving turkey with his passes, he gouges you with his legs. He has 409 yards and a massive 11 more touchdowns to his credit in 12 games. He and running back James Cook, who has 1228 yards with a 5.3 yards per carry average and eight touchdowns, will torch you on the ground."
"1. The Pats' most dangerous playoff opponent is ... Buffalo, but it's close. The Texans' defense is the most fearsome unit - offense, defense or special teams - of any in the AFC.. Houston ranks first in points allowed...Yet I can't slot them ahead of the Bills. It comes down to this: if you're the Patriots, do you have more confidence in Drake Maye leading a game-winning final drive versus the Texans defense or your defense stopping Josh Allen in the same scenario? I'm taking Maye."
The New England Patriots hold an 11-2 record with playoff seeding depending on their final four games. Quarterback Drake Maye emerges as a pivotal factor for the Patriots' postseason hopes. The Buffalo Bills present a serious challenge with quarterback Josh Allen completing 69.4 percent of passes, 19 touchdowns, 10 interceptions, 409 rushing yards and 11 rushing touchdowns in 12 games. Running back James Cook contributes 1,228 yards, a 5.3 yards-per-carry average and eight touchdowns. The Bills feature supporting pass-catchers Khalil Shakir, Keon Coleman and tight end Dalton Kincaid. Houston's defense ranks first in points allowed, but Buffalo remains the top concern.
