New England Patriots: 3 keys to bullying Buffalo in Week 4
By Sam Minton
1. Get to Josh Allen
2019 has been quite the season for Josh Allen. He is looking like he might be the quarterback that Bills fans were hoping for when they drafted the big man last season.

Allen is slinging the ball all over the field. His favorite receivers so far are John Brown and Cole Beasley. Two speedy receivers who could cause problems. Stephon Gilmore will need to lock down one of these guys.
But I think most of the pressure is on New England’s front 7. They need to penetrate the line and get to Allen.
Allen might be big but he is also a mobile QB. If no one is open downfield he isn’t afraid to tuck the ball and run.
So guys like Deatrich Wise, Michael Bennett, and Chase Winovich need to get to Allen. If he is given too much time he will make the Patriots pay.
Hopefully, we will be seeing plenty of sacks in Week 4.
