New England at Buffalo Sunday, 4:25 p.m. EST, CBS BetMGM NFL odds: Bills by 14. Key injuries Patriots safety Kyle Dugger, running back JaMycal Hasty and cornerback Marcus Jones all sat out the first practice of the week.. Buffalo might play it safe with LB Matt Milano, who sustained a groin injury last week in his third game after missing nearly 14 months with a broken leg and torn left biceps. Henry has a streak of 17 consecutive games with at least one reception.. RB Rhamondre Stevenson needs 176 yards over the final three games to move past Corey Dillon into eighth place on the team’s Patriots’ career list.. Deatrich Wise has five sacks on the season enters the week 2 1/2 shy of tying his career best of 7 1/2 set during the 2022 season.. CB Marcus Jones is second in the NFL with a 14.8-yard punt return average.. The Bills are 11-3 or better through 14 games for just the seventh time in team history, and third time since 2020.. Buffalo has scored 30 or more points in eight straight outings, matching the NFL single-season record achieved four previous times, and most recently by Denver in 2013.. Allen last weekend joined Russell Wilson in becoming the NFL’s second player to top 350 yards passing with two TDs and 50 yards rushing with two TDs in a single game.. Allen’s 74 regular-season wins are tied for second with Patrick Mahomes for most in a quarterback’s first seven seasons -- and one behind Wilson.. Allen has not turned over the ball in three straight outings, and eight times this season.. RB James Cook’s 13 TDs rushing are tied for second in the NFL, and the most since LeSean McCoy had that many in 2016. Simpson in a 14-game season.. Buffalo’s 28 TDs rushing are the most through 14 games, and one short of the single-season record set in 2016.. With a forced fumble against Detroit, the Bills have forced a takeaway in all but one game this season.. Buffalo allowed a franchise-worst 494 yards passing to Lions QB Jared Goff last weekend.
