Episode notes
Allen Must Be A Play Extender
- Josh Allen will need to extend plays and use his legs to beat New England's tight coverage and loaded box.
- A dominant Allen performance could push him back into MVP conversation if Buffalo makes a late divisional surge.
Win Opens Division Door For Bills
- A Buffalo win in Foxborough keeps them alive in the AFC East and fuels late-season narratives about Allen's MVP case.
- The matchup is offense-heavy so the game could come down to one weird special-teams or turnover play.
Patriots Should Lean On Run Game
- New England should prioritize running the ball and managing clock to keep Josh Allen off the field.
- Buffalo's defensive injuries and tackling issues make time-of-possession a viable path for the Patriots.
