Bailey Zappe has ‘good control’ over Patriots offense, says Bills cornerback Taron Johnson

Image Photo by Justin Edmonds/Getty Images Sunday’s game against the Buffalo Bills will be a new experience for Bailey Zappe. It will be the first start in his two-year career against one of the New England Patriots’ division rivals. Obviously, going up against Zappe also is new for the Bills defense. The last time the unit went up versus the Patriots, the since-benched Mac Jones was still the starting QB and leading his club to a 29-25 victory in Week 7. Ahead of the two teams’ upcoming meeting, Buffalo cornerback Taron Johnson shared his thoughts on New England’s relatively new starting quarterback. “He has really good control over his offense,” Johnson said. “Not turning the ball over as much and making good decisions with the ball. And I feel like that’s what you need in a good quarterback.” Zappe arrived in New England as a fourth-round selection in last year’s draft and spent most of his first two seasons in the league as a backup behind Jones. With the former first-round draft pick struggling, however, the team decided to hand him the keys to its offense starting in Week 13. Since then, the Patriots have gone 2-2 with Zappe completing 80 of 117 pass attempts for 817 yards with six touchdowns and two interceptions.
