White-out night at Highmark Stadium exposed Buffalo’s new fault line: a rare two-turnover flurry after an NFL-record stretch of fumble-free play. Josh Allen’s off-timing with Dawson Knox produced the first fumble, snapping the streak, then Keon Coleman was stripped by Robert Spillane for a second turnover in Bills’ territory.

Buffalo’s defense bailed them out by forcing a New England turnover and limiting a field-goal drive, but the extra penalties and sloppy ball control put fantasy managers on notice: clean execution matters much more than volume against tougher defenses.

The New England Patriots list four players as questionable for Week 5 against the Bills: Milton Williams, Carlton Davis, K’Lavon Chaisson, and Jahlani Tavai. If Williams cannot go, Cory Durden would likely start inside, a move that could slightly curb the interior pressure drop. New England’s front has surged this season, now pressuring at a league-average clip (35.5%), with Christian Barmore, Williams, and a reworked scheme spearheading the effort. Tavai’s calf injury casts a shadow over the back‑seven’s depth and the activation window looms large, while Davis and Gonzalez anchor a renewed perimeter curb. Buffalo looms large, with Keon Coleman and Dalton Kincaid as key mismatch points for the Pats’ coverage.

The Week 5 status compounds a game that could hinge on the Pats’ ability to sustain pressure and disrupt Buffalo’s timing. If Williams plays, the Patriots’ front could tilt toward more disruptiveness and quicker QB harass. Davis’ return adds matchup flexibility against Bills receivers, while Chaisson’s availability directly affects edge rush tempo. With Tavai’s activation window uncertain, New England will need to balance upside with roster risk as they chase a pivotal division win.

Patriots dodge injury bullets in Week 3 after a 21-14 setback to Pittsburgh. Drake Maye absorbed edge pressure but logged every snap, Hunter Henry left briefly with a leg issue and returned, and Jared Wilson shook off a stinger to stay in the game. TreVeyon Henderson chipped in but wasn’t sidelined by the clash. Adrenaline may mask symptoms, yet Week 4 looks plausible pending practice reports and concussion checks.
