TOUCHDOWN! Patriots 28-24 Bills 10:03, 4th quarter

Buffalo have a Josh Allen rushing score chalked off for a hold but it matters very little. On the very next play Allen beats the zone defense with a deep pass to Knox. He waited an age in the pocket for the play to develop and it pays off big. What a comeback!!!

Patriots 24-21 Bills 10:31, 4th quarter

Massive 3rd down for Buffalo. Two yards to make at midfield. Allen takes the snap, swings one out right to Ty Johnson but he comes up a yard short. They are going for it on 4th. Allen drops back a mile and slings it deep. It’s picked! Or is it?! Khalil Shakir is blocked off by Jones. The refs rule it a catch for the offense as it was seen to be a tied catch. PI is also called giving the Bills the ball in the red zone. Dalton Kincaid makes a catch on the following play and the Bills need five yards to take the lead.

Buffalo have a quick 3rd down on their 12-yard line. Allen drops back with seven yards to get. He finds a wide open Dalton Kincaid for 24 yards with an absolute bullet throw. Slack defending from New England.

TOUCHDOWN! Jaguars 38-13 Jets 7:01, 3rd quarter

Trevor is 18/27 for 259 yards and four touchdowns, no picks and a 137.2 QBR. Trevor’s on fire, New York Jets are terrified. Sorry.

Patriots 24-21 Bills 1:39, 3rd quarter

Tre’Davious White picks off Drake Maye on 3rd and forever. JJ Watt has a minor shocker on commentary as he says “It’s a punt.” As he thinks the pass is out of bounds then corrects to “It’s an arm punt, what we call an arm punt.” Good save, not! Buffalo with a shot at taking the lead for the first time.

And 3rd down is up again for New England. Four yards to move the chains. Maye takes the snap, drops back and eases one to Stefon Diggs who races just across midfield.

TOUCHDOWN! Eagles 31-0 Raiders 14:54, 4th quarter

I think I can hear the Eagles fans singing, “can we play you every week?”. Perfect timing to face the Raiders as Philadelphia are cruising to a victory that snaps a three-game losing run.

Josh Allen’s crew have just evaporated New England’s 21-0 lead in three possessions. MO-MENTUM.

ShareTOUCHDOWN! Patriots 24-21 Bills 5:27, 3rd quarter

Dalton Kincaid makes an excellent contested catch to put Buffalo two yards from home. Cook is stood up on the following rushing play. 3rd down. Cook rumbles to the goal line and sticks the ball out … does he not remember fumbling doing the exact same last week against the Bengals!?? He gets lucky and might have a touchdown as the Bills review the play. The commentators think he has it … and the referees agree. TOUCHDOWN!

Share

Patriots 24-14 Bills 5:04, 3rd quarter

New England force a 3rd down of their own with Buffalo 13 yards from the end zone. Five yards to move the chain. Allen spins in the pocket and guns it through the end zone. Flags fly. Hold by the defense! Huge for Buffalo. 1st and Goal.

Big 3rd down for Buffalo’s defense. SACK! The pocket collapses on Maye and Matt Milano takes him down. Three and out for the Patriots. Buffalo will take over on offense at their 25-yard line. The comeback is ON!

SharePatriots 24-14 Bills 11:29, 3rd quarter

Rapid six-play scoring drive gives Buffalo some confidence. Some play action confuses New England and Allen has an easy short pass to Knox who walks in.

Patriots 24-7 Bills 12:44, 3rd quarter

After three punts the Bills scored with their final possession of the half. They are on the ball again now at their 30-yard line. Allen keeps it after some play action but he is bottled up well short of the sticks. New England doing an excellent job keeping the QB in check. On 3rd and 3 he keeps it again but this time finds the edge on the left and picks up 19 yards and the 1st down!

Baltimore with a perfectly timed score before the half in a must-win game. Took a while but the Ravens are rolling now.

Patriots 24-7 Bills, half-time

“It’s not gonna be easy,” says Patriots head coach Mike Vrabel regarding his team’s chances of beating the Bills from here.

Isn’t it? Looked pretty easy from here. New England’s defense are suffocating Buffalo. Not a single explosive play from one of the most explosive offenses in the NFL so far.

It’s GOOD! Patriots 24-7 Bills half-time

The Patriots go for it all on Buffalo’s 30-yard line and Mack Hollins just can’t hold on in the end zone. Great defense by Greg Rousseau to break it up. Weird stuff going on with the clock on the next play, it doesn’t start when the play goes off then starts when it stops. The Patriots got a 1st down meanwhile after a 11-yard run from Stevenson. Borregales boots it through with the last play off the half.

Patriots 21-7 Bills 0:23, 2nd quarter

Drake Maye busts another long run, this time 11 yards, to put New England in field-goal range before half-time. He is playing lights out.

Patriots 21-7 Bills 1:56, 2nd quarter

Eight yards to go for the score. James Cook carries it for two yards on 1st down. Next a short pass to Cook gets the job done after New England’s zone defense gets in a muddle. Huge sigh of relief for Buffalo.
