"The pressure was on the Patriots during their Week 15 matchup against the Bills, and they looked poised to be the dominant team for the entire 60 minutes, based on how impressive they were in the first half. They went up 21-0 early on, with all the momentum in their favor, only to fall flat on their face after halftime and eventually lose miserably."
"There were certainly a lot of things wrong with their efforts in the second half, like the defense allowing Josh Allen and the Bills' offense march down the field and score on five consecutive drives, giving Drake Maye no chance to keep it close. But part of the problem also falls on Josh McDaniels, who had an impeccable game plan in the first half but couldn't match that production after halftime."
Patriots led Bills 21-0 at halftime after an impressive first half but collapsed after halftime and lost. The Bills scored on five straight second-half drives as the Patriots' defense failed to contain Josh Allen. Josh McDaniels executed a strong first-half plan but failed to adjust after halftime. Stefon Diggs was targeted only four times despite a dominant 10-catch, 146-yard performance earlier in the season, limiting the offense's effectiveness. Drake Maye relied on Mack Hollins as his primary target, but Diggs' relative absence hindered sustained drives and threatened playoff hopes in the final three games.
