The Bills stormed into Foxboro and kicked the Patriots’ ass last night in a true show of dominance as the new Kings of the AFC West. With one eye on the offseason roster changes, we must still reflect on Week 16’s Ups and Downs.
Ups ⬆️
Jakobi Meyers
Whilst the passing game was almost non-existent last night, Meyers was the only receiver to show any spark, and to be fair, he’s been the best receiver on the team this season. Not a record-breaking performance, but the effort was there with some slight production at least.
Jake Bailey
Any concerns that the celebrity status that comes along with being a Pro Bowler would impact Bailey’s performances were dashed last night as once again, he showed why he’s one of the top Punters in the NFL.
Sometimes he goes under the radar given how bad the Pats have been at times this season, but, in close games, Bailey’s ability to switch field position a pin opponents in their own red zone is a priceless commodity.
Sony Michel
I’ve enjoyed seeing Michel have some better games more recently in the absence of Damien Harris, although his carries have been reduced for one reason or another, he’s been more efficient and had some great runs last night. One bright spot heading into the offseason is that the running back position is in a stable position for next year.
