Bills Positional Analysis & Grades Heading Into Patriots Week

Bills Positional Analysis & Grades Heading Into Patriots Week

Author: Blue Wire December 10, 2025 Duration: 1:15:13

On this episode of Talking Buffalo, Patrick Moran is joined by Matt Warren from SB Nation for their weekly positional analysis of the Buffalo Bills, including grades for each position before turning their attention to huge matchup in Foxboro against the New England Patriots coming up on Sunday.

The Bills not only took a big step towards ensuring them a playoff spot after beating the Bengals on Sunday but also kept slim hopes alive for winning the AFC east. The guys, as they usually do go through each position for a discussion on what liked and didn't like from last Sunday before Matt hands out his grades for each.

Tight end has been a position of strength and good grades almost all season long and spoiler alert---it continues here.

Christian Benford had a sensational game but how much did the play of his teammates effect the overall grade of the cornerback room?

Also, the Patriots are coming off their bye and can officially end the Bills five year AFC east run with a home victory on Sunday. The guys take a look at them, how they think Buffalo matches up, what needs to change from their first meeting in Week five and much more!
