New England Patriots: 3 reasons team will dominate Buffalo Bills in Week 8
By Sam Minton
2. The Buffalo Bills defense is horrible
I am expecting the New England Patriots to put up plenty of points on Monday night. The Buffalo Bills defense is horrendous.
Last week against the Colts they gave up over 200 yards rushing. Marlon Mack isn’t exactly an amazing running back and he ran for 126 yards and a touchdown against the Colts.
Imagine what Sony Michel could do to this defense? I don’t expect Michel to play because the Patriots need to be careful with Michel’s injury history, but I think the Patriots will still have a strong running game.
James White is going to get most of the team’s carries. I think White will show off his running ability and have a 100-yard rushing game.
Usually, we see White making great catches in the flat, so it will be interesting to see what he can do running the ball.
White has a unique opportunity to prove that he is capable of being a primary back. He is mostly looked at as a pass catching back, but with a couple of nice performances, that perception could change.
So expect the Patriots run game to dominate the Bills on Monday night.
