The magnitude of the Patriots' upcoming matchup against the Bills on Sunday is already being felt nearly a week out, underscoring just how far New England has come this season. With the division on the line, as the Patriots could become AFC East champions with a win, there will inevitably be extra eyes on the game. That also means injured players on both teams will be doing all they can to get back into the starting lineup
When Dolphins tight end Darren Waller announced his presence in Miami in his debut with the team, he did so with two touchdowns on the national stage against the Dolphins' divisional foe they face again on Sunday. In the Sept. 29 "Monday Night Football" win over the New York Jets, Waller, after missing the first three games of the season, caught two touchdowns among his three receptions on four targets.
Julian Edelman is no stranger to chasing championships. During his time with the New England Patriots, the team won three Super Bowls and played in five, and Edelman carved out a Hall of Fame-caliber career as a gutty slot wide receiver. He's one of many believers in his former team as the Patriots have carved out a four-game winning streak - including the last three on the road - a stretch that has seen second-year quarterback Drake Maye playing at an MVP level.
