"You make your name in the second half of these kind of games,"
"Two, the Patriots may have needed to have this loss going into this back-end of the season. Three, the game seemed a little too bright at the end [for the Patriots]."
"They were undermanned, but so were the Buffalo Bills. So is everyone else."
Josh Allen delivered five consecutive second-half touchdowns to lead the Buffalo Bills to a 35-31 road comeback, ending New England's 10-game winning streak and reopening the AFC East race. New England's defense struggled without defensive lineman Milton Williams, contributing to the Patriots' collapse in the second half. Both teams entered the game undermanned, while a long kickoff out of halftime and offensive three-and-outs shifted momentum decisively. Penalties did not determine the result; special-teams plays and second-half execution proved more consequential. The loss could act as a reset for New England as the season progresses.
