Why Gabe Davis isn't playing for the Bills today vs. Patriots image

The Buffalo Bills have a big game on Sunday against the New England Patriots. Big Game Gabe won't be out there.

Gabriel Davis' name was surprisingly on the Bills' inactive list that came out at 11:30 a.m. ET on Sunday.

The Pats can clinch the AFC East with a win. The Bills need a victory to keep their division title streak hopes alive.

Davis has played well of late, so it was a shock to see him inactive.

Why isn't Gabe Davis playing today?

Gabe Davis is a healthy scratch.

That was confirmed by The Athletic's Joe Buscaglia.

More information may come out postgame, but for now, that's all we know.

Davis had two catches for 21 yards a week ago. He has played four games for the Bills since his return to Buffalo and his return from injury.

It feels like Josh Allen has thrown to Davis in key spots.

This week, though, Buffalo must've decided it liked its game plan in a way that didn't really call upon Davis, and so he misses out.
