The Patriots Have TWO Clear Keys to Pulling Off the Upset vs. Buffalo
The New England Patriots have a massive AFC East test against the Buffalo Bills, and everything starts with finding a way to make Drake Maye comfortable again.
That means New England needs a running game.
Rhamondre Stevenson and TreVeyon Henderson haven't consistently been given enough space to make things happen. Against Buffalo, that has to change.
The Patriots can't put everything on Maye's shoulders and expect the struggling quarterback to suddenly fix the offense himself.
Get Stevenson involved. Create opportunities for Henderson. Force Buffalo's defense to respect the run and give Maye more manageable situations.
But that's only part of it.
New England's wide receivers need somebody to step up against a Bills secondary that has still been adjusting to Jim Leonhard's defensive system.
Maye hasn't played his best football, but the Patriots haven't consistently made his job easier either.
If New England can establish the run, create separation in the passing game and keep this game close into the second half, the pressure shifts to Buffalo.
The Patriots pulled off a statement win in Buffalo last season.
If they're going to do it again, Maye can't be asked to carry the entire offense by himself.

New England Patriots MUST WIN This Matchup to Have Any Chance vs. Buffalo
The New England Patriots need Gabe Akas, Morgan Moses and their offensive and defensive lines to deliver against the Buffalo Bills.
It starts with getting pressure on Josh Allen.
Akas has already exceeded expectations early in his rookie season, becoming the first Patriots rookie to record multiple sacks and an interception through his first three games, according to the stat discussed on the show.
New England needs that impact against Buffalo.
The Patriots can't allow Allen to sit comfortably in the pocket. With Draymond Jones dealing with an injury, Akas and the rest of New England's edge rushers become even more important.
But the matchup works both ways.
Drake Maye desperately needs protection, and Morgan Moses faces a massive challenge against Greg Rousseau. The Bills edge rusher has been producing sacks consistently to begin the season and could make life miserable for a Patriots quarterback already trying to rediscover his confidence.
New England needs to affect Allen without allowing Buffalo to do the same thing to Maye.
That's easier said than done.
The Patriots aren't playing their best football entering this AFC East matchup, but winning in the trenches could give them an opportunity to make this much more interesting than expected.
If they can't protect Maye or pressure Allen, it could be a long afternoon.

Drake Maye Is the Patriots’ BIGGEST Concern Against the Bills
Drake Maye and the New England Patriots face the Buffalo Bills in a massive AFC East matchup, and one question hangs over everything: which version of Maye is going to show up?
Maye simply hasn't played good enough football lately.
But the Patriots haven't exactly made his job easy.
A.J. Brown is unavailable, and New England's remaining wide receivers have struggled to create much after the catch. According to the stat discussed in this crossover, Patriots wide receivers have yet to force a missed tackle this season.
Romeo Doubs, Pop Douglas, Efton Chism and Kyle Williams need to give Maye more help.
Then there's an opportunity on the other side.
Buffalo has repeatedly put the football in dangerous situations this season. The Bills committed five turnovers in their previous game, while James Cook fumbled on his first carry before eventually bouncing back with a huge performance.
That's where New England's defense could change this game.
Christian Gonzalez and the Patriots secondary have an opportunity to create problems for Josh Allen and potentially give Maye short fields.
But that only matters if the offense capitalizes.
New England has already wasted opportunities created by its defense this season.
If the Patriots are going to pull off the upset in Buffalo, they need to win the turnover battle and, more importantly, they need Maye to finally look like himself again.
