The Patriots marched down the field and scored a touchdown on the first possession of today\u2019s game against the Bills, with some help from the officials.<\/p>\n
The biggest play of the opening drive was a 30-yard pass from Drake Maye to Kayshon Boutte that replays appeared to show should have been ruled an incompletion, as Boutte did not maintain control when the ball touched the ground. But the replay assistant didn\u2019t change it, and the Bills didn\u2019t see a replay in time to challenge.<\/p>\n
It won\u2019t make the Bills feel any better that on their own opening drive, a 35-yard pass from Josh Allen to Brandin Cooks was ruled a catch on the field but overturned to an incompletion by the replay assistant.<\/p>\n
It\u2019s a must-win game for the Bills if they want to have any hope of winning the AFC East, and it\u2019s off to a rough start for Buffalo.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The Patriots marched down the field and scored a touchdown on the first possession of today\u2019s game against…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":348753,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[63],"tags":[349,99],"class_list":{"0":"post-348752","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-nfl","8":"tag-nfl","9":"tag-sports"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/348752","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=348752"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/348752\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/348753"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=348752"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=348752"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=348752"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
