Ryan said Tuesday in a radio interview he knows who will start under center for the Patriots on Sunday against his Buffalo Bills. “I think we know, but I’m not going to say anything,” the Bills head coach said, via NewYorkUpstate.com. “At the same time, we’ll be prepared anyway just like you would. The main thing is just stopping what they do. They change their MO a lot of times. It’s more of a game plan of the week.” He added: “Who knows how they’ll approach us?

Blount has been especially explosive following quarterback Jimmy Garoppolo’s shoulder injury, carrying the ball 43 times for 207 yards and three touchdowns since Garoppolo went down late in the second quarter of New England’s Week 2 win over the Miami Dolphins. “We really
