Much to the chagrin of Buffalo Bills fans

Youth Devin Singletary Jersey , the New England Patriots are back in the Super Bowl and will face the Los Angeles Rams in Super Bowl LIII on Sunday, Feb. 3 in Atlanta, GA. The Patriots, led by quarterback Tom Brady and head coach Bill Belichick, are playing in the franchise’s third straight Super Bowl after outlasting the Kansas City Chiefs 37-31 in overtime of the AFC Championship game. While the Patriots are no strangers to postseason success—this is Brady’s ninth Super Bowl appearance—the team credits a Week 16 game against the Bills as getting the franchise ready for this latest postseason run. Heading into the Week 16 showdown between the Bills and Patriots in Foxboro, New England was coming off back-to-back losses to the Miami Dolphins (on a miraculous last-second touchdown play) and the Pittsburgh Steelers, when New England committed 14 accepted penalties and dropped to 9-5 with two games remaining. The team had fallen out of the No. 2 seed in the conference, and with it, was faced with the prospect of playing in a Wild Card round rather than receiving the customary first-round bye. So it was that the second match-up of 2018 between Buffalo and New England served as a wake-up call for Brady, safety Devin McCourty, and the rest of the Patriots. “It was like, ‘We’re running out of time Womens Devin Singletary Jersey ,’” McCourty told ESPN Patriots reporter Mike Reiss. “Buffalo was like, ‘All right, guys, this is what it takes.’ Playing at home, winning a division championship, was like, ‘Guys, this is championship-level football. This is what we need to do.’ And then essentially playing another playoff game the next weekend against the Jets, we rolled with that kind of mentality.”One of the biggest developments to stem from the game against Buffalo, a 24-12 triumph by the Patriots, was a return to the running game. Rookie Sony Michel rushed for 116 yards and a touchdown as the Patriots rushed for a season-high 273 yards on a season-most 43 carries. The Patriots turned to the running game that week in part because of how effective the Buffalo defense was in containing Brady. The Patriots won that game despite Buffalo limiting Brady to 13 of 24 passing for 126 yards, a touchdown and two interceptions—his lowest passing output since throwing for 123 yards in a season-opening 31-0 loss to the Bills in 2003. Since that Week 16 win over Buffalo Authentic Devin Singletary Jersey , which clinched New England’s tenth straight AFC East division title, the Patriots routed the New York Jets (31-3) in the regular-season finale, blew out the Los Angeles Chargers (41-28) in the divisional round of the playoffs, and held off the Chiefs in the AFC championship. ”We’ve found a way to play our best the last four games,” Brady said. “Buffalo, Jets, had the bye, played great against the Chargers, played really well [against the Chiefs]. We’re going to need one more great game.” A talented player and an outstanding match for Sean McDermott."WhiteFanposts Fanshots Sections NewsNotesOpinionAnalysisDiscussionPodcastNFL DraftSalary CapNFL DraftAnalysisScouting ReportsQuinnen Williams is an ideal fit for Buffalo Bills’ defensive schemeNew,12commentsA talented player and an outstanding match for Sean McDermott.EDTShareTweetShareShareQuinnen Williams is an ideal fit for Buffalo Bills’ defensive schemeQuinnen Williams might be the best prospect in the 2019 NFL Draft, but due to positional needs he’s no lock for the top pick. There’s a chance he could slide down the draft to the point where the Buffalo Bills might entertain the thought of trading up for him. How would he fit the team, if they did land him? Let’s walk through what Williams could bring to Buffalo.Team FitDuring his last two years with the Carolina Panthers Devin Singletary Jersey Boys , McDermott paired Star Lotulelei, the massive defensive tackle now on Buffalo’s roster, with the speedier Kawann Short. Short, a second-round pick, exploded onto the scene and has two Pro Bowls under his belt thanks to big sack numbers and a penetrating style of play.Coming into the 2013 NFL Draft, Short measured 6’3”, 299 pounds with 34 3鈦? -inch arms. With a short shuttle time of 4.65 seconds and a three-cone drill of 7.55 seconds.The Bills also drafted the 6’3” 307 pound Harrison Phillips, with 33 7/8” arms, a 4.5 short shuttle, and a 32” vertical leap.At 6’3” and 303 pounds, with 33 1/4” arms, Williams is squarely in Buffalo’s wheelhouse. He’s a great athlete Youth LeSean McCoy Jerseys , too, with a 4.83 forty-yard dash, 30.5” vertical, and 112” broad jump.Williams played multiple alignments during his career at Alabama, and could definitely hold down a three-technique role for the Bills. He’s also known as a team player, who voluntarily redshirted and took on less glamorous nose tackle roles to open up opportunities for his teammates.Player comparisonFletcher Cox measured 6’4” 298 pounds against Quinnen’s 6’3” 303. Like Williams, Cox is a great athlete, and he developed impressive handfighting technique as a pro defensive tackle. Kawann Short might be an even better comparison. While he didn’t have a Combine workout, he measured 6’3” 299 with longer arms but similar hand size. Short’s selling point in college was his excellent pass rushing technique, his strength, burst, and versatility LeSean McCoy Jerseys Stitched , and his scouting report honestly reads very similarly to Williams’s. With that in mind, it wouldn’t be surprising if Brandon Beane and Sean McDermott were sold on this player.Sample Play: Base Strong Fire ZoneThis defensive playcall comes straight from Nick Saban’s playbook. If the Bills went with this exact look, they’d be switching up their personnel package slightly. Jordan Phillips and Harrison Phillips would both play as defensive ends, with Jerry Hughes and Lorenzo Alexander playing bookend outside linebacker roles. Middle linebacker Tremaine Edmunds would be the blitzer in this scenario. Williams, playing nose tackle, would be pressuring from the A gap.Williams is able to disrupt plays even when lining up in a conservative zero-technique alignment. Even facing two blockers, it’s likely he’d knife between them and pressure the QB’s blind side. Edmunds should have a free gap with the left defensive end occupying the right guard. That allows Phillips and SLB Alexander to play contain and clean up any missed sacks.Williams is that rare, versatile talent on the defense who only shows up once every year or two. He’d fit pretty much every defense with Pro Bowl potential, and would be the perfect match for Buffalo’s missing interior pressure. If he somehow fell down the draft, the Bills drafting him would be a coup.
