4 New England Patriots the Buffalo Bills need to game plan for in Week 13

Rhamondre Stevenson

For the Buffalo Bills defense this week, the focus will be on running back Rhamondre Stevenson. The Patriots are unlikely to have Damien Harris for this game according to NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport, so Stevenson should see almost all the work in the backfield.

Stevenson is a very different running back than Harris and is more of a big-play threat. This season, he has 480 rushing yards with four rushing touchdowns but is also a big part of their passing game with 50 receptions and 359 receiving yards with one receiving touchdown.

Stevenson currently ranks first in receptions on the Patriots and second in targets and is a player that Mac Jones looks to often. It will be interesting to see how the Bills approach covering Stevenson but the responsibility will likely fall on their linebackers, Matt Milano and Tremaine Edmunds.
