"The New England Patriots began their game against the Buffalo Bills on absolute fire and put on a first-half show reminiscent of the dynasty years. It was exactly the kind of start to a hat-and-t-shirt game they needed, and they went into halftime with a lot of momentum. Unfortunately, the special teams, which have been the best and most consistent unit for much of the season, made sure some of that momentum swung in the Bills' favor."
"The superstar cornerback was then seen leaving the blue medical tent for the locker room, and it didn't take long for the team to reveal his injury status, which isn't what the defense needs, as the Bills make it an actual ball game. The latest update from the Patriots on Davis is that he suffered a groin injury and is questionable to return to today's matchup. It's a huge loss for a defense that has fallen apart in the second half."
New England opened strongly, producing a first-half performance reminiscent of its dynasty era and entering halftime with heavy momentum. Special teams errors in the second quarter swung momentum, as poor tackling and turnovers gave Buffalo two drives starting at midfield that culminated in touchdowns. The defense began to weaken in the third quarter, with coverage breakdowns and subpar play from Josh Palmer in place of Carlton Davis III. Davis exited with a groin injury, left via the blue medical tent, and was listed questionable to return. The secondary loss could allow Buffalo to exploit matchups and ease Josh Allen's passing game.
