Is Keon Coleman playing today? Bills WR off to slow start vs. Patriots image

The Buffalo Bills face a huge AFC East showdown against the New England Patriots with the division on the line, and Sean McDermott's team needs a win.

With the Bills already having lost to the Patriots, if New England wins, it will clinch the division title for Mike Vrabel's team, so there is a lot on the line here.

And that brings us to receiver Keon Coleman.

With Gabe Davis oddly inactive, the Bills are putting faith in Coleman to help the passing attack for Josh Allen as they go against a stout Patriots defense.

But how has Keon gone early?

On Buffalo's first drive, Keon wasn't even on the field, which is a surprise, and goes in keeping with Coleman's up-and-down season.

Bills' AFC East dominance on thin ice

Having won the previous five division titles, for some, it does feel like a changing of the guard in the AFC East.

The Patriots have had a superb season, while the Bills have been far more inconsistent, and against New England, could be made to pay for it.

On the road, in snowy conditions, the Bills will be doing all they can to stop the hat-and-t-shirt game for the Patriots, because that would be tough to see: your rivals celebrating winning the division after sweeping you.

That's what is on the line for the Bills; let's see if they can halt the Patriots' momentum.
