Patriots LB Kyle Van Noy names 'big key' to win over Bills

Bill Belichick's game plan for Monday night's victory over the Buffalo Bills was one for the ages.

With cold, windy conditions at Highmark Stadium, the New England Patriots head coach opted for a run-heavy offensive approach. Actually, run-heavy would be an understatement. Rookie quarterback Mac Jones threw only three times -- a record low for pass attempts in a game in franchise history -- in the 14-10 Pats win.

That was only part of what made it such a memorable coaching performance for both Belichick and offensive coordinator Josh McDaniels.
