Milton Williams

The Patriots' rushing defense has struggled since Milton Williams (ankle) was placed on the IR. James Cook took advantage of that on Sunday, consistently earning hard yards up the gut and then using a tremendous second-effort dive to get his first rushing touchdown. Cook was targeted three times in the passing game, but was kept in check apart from his five-yard touchdown catch (yes, you read that right). The Bills will need Cook again against a tough Browns defense next week in what should be another freezing, cold game.

No real surprises here. The Patriots come into this game relatively healthy, except for defensive tackle Milton Williams being on the IR.

The Patriots' No. 1 target in the offseason was Tee Higgins. Once he became available, the team pivoted to a completely different position.
