Too Easy: Josh Allen (22/33, 223, 2, 0) picked apart the Patriots’ defense and had no trouble linking up with Stefon Diggs, who caught 7-of-9 targets for 92 yards and 1 touchdown. Cook: James Cook totaled 105 scrimmage yards (64 rushing, 41 receiving) on 20 touches. The rookie has emerged as the team’s primary running back. No Von: Buffalo totaled just one sack without Von Miller in the lineup — but did an excellent job stifling a Patriots’ offense that only converted 3-of-12 (25%) third downs. Pitiful: New England totaled just 242 yards of offense — and a good portion of that came on a long, garbage-time drive in the fourth quarter. - Bill Belichick’s Matt Patricia experiment is clearly not working — which is something most pundits and fans predicted when he was first given offensive responsibilities. Frustrated: Mac Jones only threw for 195 yards and was caught on the sidelines [yelling]( for more down-the-field passing — nearly all of Patricia’s calls were for short, quick underneath throws. Impact: The Bills (9-3) can take back first place in the AFC East if the Dolphins lose to the 49ers. The Patriots (6-6) have fallen to the ninth seed in the AFC and will likely need to win four of their remaining five to make the playoffs. Next Up: The Bills host the Jets, in a crucial division showdown. The Patriots visit the Cardinals. Image: Fred Kfoury III/Icon Sportswire Beckham [Beckham] Odell Beckham Jr. has begun his free agent tour Details: Beckham met with the Giants yesterday and will visit with the Bills today. - His tour is expected to conclude with a trip to Dallas next Monday. Preference: Beckham is looking for a [multi-year]( deal and it seems like contract/financials will be the deciding factor. - Though playing for a Super Bowl contender is also a consideration. Timing: Beckham — who tore his ACL in February — will not be ready to play until [late]( December. His value this year will mostly be limited to postseason appearances. Image: Brian Rothmuller/Icon Sportswire 49ers [Kyle Shanahan] The 49ers “took a hard look at adding” Tom Brady in 2020 Details: The insight comes from Matt Barrows (The Athletic), who [points out]( that the 49ers’ interest in Brady came months after Jimmy Garoppolo took the team to the Super Bowl that year. - Eventually, San Francisco passed on the idea and Brady ended up in Tampa. Relevance: Barrow’s colleague, Jeff Howe, thinks Brady could [sign]( with the 49ers in the offseason. - Garoppolo’s contract is up after the season and Trey Lance remains a major question mark. - Brady grew up rooting for the 49ers in nearby Santa Mateo. Interesting: Last month, Albert Breer said that Brady-to-San Francisco in 2023 would “check a lot of boxes” and [confirmed]( that the team has discussed the possibility internally. Image: Brian Rothmuller/Icon Sportswire Fields [Justin Fields] Justin Fields practiced fully on Thursday Background: Fields, who is dealing with an injury to his non-throwing shoulder, is [on course]( to play on Sunday against the Packers. - The injury kept him off the field last week. Ascending Star: Fields has totaled 2,084 yards (1,345 passing, 739 rushing) and 17 touchdowns (11 passing, 6 rushing) in his last eight games. - The 23-year-old was recently [named]( one of the NFL’s top 25 players under 25. Opportunity: If Fields is comfortable enough to run, he should have success against a Green Bay defense that yielded 363 rushing yards to the Eagles last week. Odds: The Packers are a 3-point favorite. Image: Rich von Biberstein/Icon Sportswire Vikings [Vikings on Thanksgiving] Vikings can clinch the NFC North on Sunday Details: Minnesota will win the NFC North with a victory over the Jets and a Lions' loss to the Jaguars. Key Matchup: Justin Jefferson will go up against the Jets’ outstanding cornerback duo of Sauce Gardner and D.J. Reed. - Gardner has the best pass coverage grade in the league according to PFF. Reed has the ninth-best. - Opposing quarterbacks have completed a combined 50.5% of their passes for 552 yards, 2 touchdowns, and 3 interceptions when targeting the duo in coverage. White: The Vikings’ defense will be tasked with shutting down Mike White, who threw for 315 yards and 3 touchdowns in his first start of the season last week. - The Vikings are a 3-point favorite. - The Lions are a 1-point underdog. Image: Nick Wosika/Icon Sportswire RBs [Leonard Fournette] RB Updates: Fournette, McCaffrey, Harris L. Fournette: Leonard Fournette (hip) practiced fully on Thursday and appears to be on track for Monday night’s game against the Saints. - Fournette did not play last week against the Browns. C. McCaffrey: Christian McCaffrey (knee) practiced on Thursday and told reporters that he will play against the Dolphins. N. Harris: Najee Harris (oblique) has not practiced this week and appears unlikely to play against the Falcons. - Jaylen Warren and Benny Snell will assume running back duties. More RBs: Josh Jacobs (calf), Joe Mixon (concussion), and Travis Etienne (foot) are trending toward playing in Week 13.
