Amendola has knee sprain, not expected to miss extended time
That’s good news for a team that had already lost running back Dion Lewis and wide receiver Julian Edelman in back to back weeks.
Brady had this to say about the audible call during his Tuesday interview on sports radio WEEI: “We do a lot of communication at the line of scrimmage, and there are different ways to communicate lots of different things – the protections, the play calls, the runs, the Mike points”. “So I think we’ll just keep fighting and figuring out a way to win, and it’s good to win against a good defense”. Brady finished 20 of 39 for 277 yards and is 26-3 lifetime against Buffalo, including 2-0 this season.
According to Mike Reiss of ESPN.com, Amendola was diagnosed with a knee sprain and is not expected to miss an extended amount of time.
The New England Patriots might need to start looking at available wide receivers. He was also injured against the Bills and left the game in the second quarter.
Jeff Howe of the Boston Herald reports that X-rays of Dobson’s ankle were negative, but that the team was still waiting for MRI results to determine the extent of the injury. After a long discussion, the referee announced that 14-yard reception counted, with a 15-yard penalty for interference from the Bills coaching staff. With the crowd booing, the Patriots kept moving and Gostkowski missed wide right from 54 yards – ending his streak of 31 straight field goals overall and 52 at home.
The Patriots even failed to score in the fourth – the first time they were shut out in a quarter since the first one of the season. Though Belichick and Welker have said there is no more bad blood between them, you still wonder how things would play out if he returned to New England. He remained in the game, but fumbled two downs later.
This Sunday, the New England Patriots are facing the Denver Broncos, who will be led by Brock Osweiler, not Peyton Manning. QB EJ Manuel was Buffalo’s backup with Josh Johnson inactive….
