4 biggest x-factors for the Buffalo Bills in Week 13 against the Patriots

Zack Moss

The New England Patriots have one of the best pass defenses in the NFL and where they struggle is against the run. This past week against the Tennessee Titans, the Patriots allowed Dontrell Hilliard and D’Onta Foreman to both run for over 100 yards and the Titans as a team ran for 270 yards.

The Buffalo Bills have struggled to run the ball this year but they may not have much of a choice in this game. This game looks like it could be shaping up to have some winter weather with snow and wind in the forecast.

This is why I believe Zack Moss, not only could be active for the first time in three weeks but also play a sizable role this week against the Patriots. Of the three running backs, the Buffalo Bills have, Moss is the biggest and the one who can run with the most power.

This year has not gone the way he would have hoped but last year, his best games came against the Patriots. In the two games, he combined for 26 rushing attempts, 138 rushing yards, and three rushing touchdowns.

If the Buffalo Bills want to lean on the run and move the ball on the ground, Zack Moss could be set up to have a big game.
