FOXBOROUGH — The New England Patriots assembled 10 straight wins, putting them at the top of the AFC. However, they suffered a devastating loss to the Buffalo Bills in Week 15, ending their winning streak. But could this have been a good thing for the team? Were they getting too comfortable and complacent?
The Bills gave the Patriots a "wake-up call" after New England watched a 21-point lead vanish in its Week 15 loss.
This will be the much-anticipated rematch from the first meeting between the two teams back in Week 5, when the Patriots stunned the Bills in a 23-20 upset win on the road. Patriots second-year quarterback Drake Maye outdueled Bills MVP quarterback Josh Allen and picked up the team's biggest win so far this season.
Buffalo Bills' linebacker Matt Milano balled out in Week 15, managing to get under the skin of New England Patriots' running back Rhamondre Stevenson
New England Patriots cornerback Carlton Davis took issue with a penalty he received on the Buffalo Bills' go-ahead scoring drive on Sunday.
Sunday’s game at Gillette Stadium might provide similar theatrical conditions under snowy skies. The Patriots have won 10 straight games, but the Bills are slight favorites on the road. Josh Allen and the Bills have won two straight contests, including a 39-34 victory over the Bengals last week.
Best and worst and everything we learned from the Patriots’ 35-31 loss to the Bills, halting their 10-game winning streak.
The NFL has announced a punishment for one New England Patriots player following his actions against the Buffalo Bills.
Stevenson was flagged after retaliating and making contact with Bills linebacker Matt Milano on the sideline in the third quarter of the game. Fortunately for Stevenson, both teams were flagged, and it was an offsetting penalty. With that said, Stevenson clearly regrets his actions on the field.
The Buffalo Bills have two weeks left to catch the New England Patriots in the AFC East. If they can't, their five-year division reign will come to an end.
