With Jimmy Garoppolo still sidelined to a shoulder injury, Jacoby Brissett (thumb) will get the start for the New England Patriots. Brissett completed 11-of-19 passes for 103 yards, adding another score on the ground, in a 27-0 win over the Houston Texans last week. Expect LeGarrette Blount to see substantial touches out of the backfield against Buffalo Sunday afternoon.
