Buffalo Bills Receive Major QB Update Ahead of Patriots Showdown

He buffalo bills I have nothing but pride to play for this week against the AFC East rival. New England Patriots.

While they are expected to rest most of their key players, the Bills still want to win. Josh Allen will move the starter under center to preserve his streak of consecutive starts, but he is not expected to play much.

On the other side of the field, there have been questions about who will be the Patriots’ starting quarterback.

Drake Maye has been dealing with some lingering injury issues and there were some rumors that he could sit out the Week 18 matchup. Now that question has been answered.

shared by ESPN Mike ReissIn fact, Maye will be New England’s starting quarterback on Sunday.

Maye has had a great rookie season with the Patriots. It will be difficult for Buffalo’s defensive reserves to stop him.

On the year, Maye completed 66.8 percent of his pass attempts for 2,276 yards, 15 touchdowns and 10 interceptions. He also had 421 yards and two touchdowns on the ground. At just 22 years old, Maye will be an important opponent for the Bills for years to come.

For Buffalo to win this game, they will need to find ways to pressure Maye. The defense will need to eliminate the big play. Offensively, Mitchell Trubisky will have to take care of the ball and the Bills will have to protect him.

Buffalo will most likely try to establish the running game early against New England.

Winning this game without the starters won’t be easy, but the Bills have enough talent to get the job done. Finishing the year with the reserves leading Buffalo to a win and a 14-3 record would be epic.

While the game may not mean much in the grand scheme of things for the Bills, it would give them some excitement, morale and momentum heading into the playoffs.
