‘It’s definitely a good feeling’: Josh Uche steps up in first career NFL game

After months of waiting, linebacker Josh Uche finally made his NFL debut in the Patriots’ 24-21 loss to the Bills on Sunday.

Uche, who was scratched for the first couple of games and later placed on injured reserve due to a foot injury, didn’t have a big game on the stat sheet. However, he did have an impact on a Patriots defense that’s hurting for help at linebacker after several departures in free agency, and Dont’a Hightower’s decision to opt out of the season.

The first noticeable play Uche had came on the Bills’ second drive of the game.
