FOXBOROUGH, Mass. -- Buffalo Bills rookie wide receiver Sammy Watkins said he “found out” that the Patriots will have cornerback Darrelle Revis follow Watkins around the field on Sunday.

In the tight-knit Patriots organization, information like this doesn’t typically make it out, especially to the opposing team.

Revis laughed about Watkins' claim that the cornerback will shadow Watkins as Revis shadowed Bengals wide receiver A.J. Green.

“I can’t tell you the game plan,” Revis laughed. “I’m looking forward to the game on Sunday. I’m looking forward to going out there and getting a win.

“That’s the main goal is you go out there as a team. We do great in all three phases -- offense, defense, special teams -- and hopefully come out of there with a win.”

Whether Revis sticks to Watkins or not, he admires the rookie’s receiving skills and is ready for the challenge he poses for the Patriots’ defense.

“[Watkins] is very talented. Actually, I am a big fan of him,” Revis said. “I watched him when he was at Clemson. He’s a very explosive receiver. He can run all the routes and make all the tough catches. It’s going to be fun out there. I think that as a team, we’re looking forward to it, for us as a team to go out and showcase Patriot football.”

Revis wasn’t willing to compare Watkins to Green and emphasized that every receiver is different, and the defense takes that into account when preparing the game plan each week.

“They are two different players,” Revis said. “We’re really not going to get into if they are similar. Every receiver in this league is a different type of player.

“Whatever the coaches bring to the table with the game plan is best for the defense.”

In the week before the Bengals game, Revis was asked about his relationship with coach Bill Belichick and whether the cornerback feels comfortable requesting a matchup with one receiver for an entire game. He said Belichick is open to discussions and reinforced those comments Friday.

“Bill is open to anything and what is best for the defense,” Revis said. “If that’s the case, then that’s the case. If it’s not, it’s not. The game plan is the game plan, and I feel comfortable with it.”

Safety Devin McCourty was also asked about how Watkins could gain intel that Revis would cover him.

“I don’t know what [Watkins] has heard,” McCourty said. “Every week this feels like, not a different defense, but we have a different game plan. So we do what we need to do to stop this guy, stop that guy. Like always, our game plan and what we do defensively will continue to change throughout games.

“I don’t know, maybe he has a good source.”
