The Buffalo Bills don’t fall a spot in our NFL power rankings this week, as their defense is still good enough to compete with some of the above-average offenses in the league.

But the New England Patriots are in another level, so this outcome was predictable.

Quarterback Tyrod Taylor had a bad day before exiting with a knee injury. According to reports, Taylor should be OK, and the Bills avoided a major scare:

If he misses any length of time, though, Buffalo would be forced to start the rookie, Nathan Peterman. And that didn’t go so well last time.
