While the on-field point of view has to take a backseat to the personal perspective when it comes to yesterday’s news that Josh Gordon left the team and is now indefinitely suspended, it cannot be denied that the New England Patriots’ offense suffered a tremendous loss: Gordon has been a top-two wide receiver for the team ever since it acquired him via trade from the Cleveland Browns in late September.
Without Gordon in the lineup, the Patriots will have to turn to their rotational depth options at wide receiver to attack a Buffalo Bills defense that is among the best in the NFL against the pass.
