FOXBOROUGH, MASS. — Brian Tyms is expected to make his NFL postseason debut Saturday when the Patriots welcome the Ravens to Gillette Stadium for a divisional-round game. Unfortunately for Tyms, the opponent is not the Buffalo Bills.
After missing the first five games of the season — four because of a league suspension for violating the performance-enhancing drug policy — Tyms played in the Patriots' final 11 games. But the second-year receiver caught passes in just two of them. You guessed it: Both were against the Bills.
