Will the Buffalo Bills pass rush get to Bailey Zappe?

The Buffalo Bills currently are third in the NFL in sacks with 50 and only four behind the league leading Baltimore Ravens. However, for anyone who watched the first three quarters of the game against the Chargers, they would not believe it as the pass rush was almost non-existent.

The good news is that they did make an impact late in the game and would finish with five sacks on Easton Stick. This week, the Bills defense is going to face a different quarterback than the last time they played the Patriots as they have benched Mac Jones and have had Bailey Zappe start the last four games.

Zappe has started the last four games and has a 2-2 record over that stretch. In the Patriots two wins, he has five touchdowns and only one interception while being sacked four times but in the two losses, he has only one touchdown and one interception while being sacked nine times.

If the Buffalo Bills pass rush can disrupt Zappe in this game, it will give them a great chance at securing the win in the final regular season home game.
