Buffalo Bills 16 New England Patriots 37
Sometimes the score doesn’t tell the entire story and boy is this a great example of such a scenario. This game was close for way too long for this to be considered another comfortable Patriots win. Did I feel nervous at all during this game? No, but if the Patriots hadn’t have turned the offense up to 11 at the time they did and left it later, maybe I would.
Well, that was something special in the first week of the NFL Playoffs. We saw comebacks, great defensive displays and a concussed Quarterback playing through the 4th quarter. It was a special time for the fans of the Buffalo Bills who have seen their team play in a Playoff game for the first time in just under 18 years. Lets delve into five takeaways of the weekends action.
In a season long battle for the first seed against the Pittsburgh Steelers, the New England Patriots continue to add to their win total as all roads lead to an epic Week 15 matchup to see if the playoffs really will run through Foxboro again as they typically do. As mentioned previously on the Patriots Week in Review, these games don’t really matter for the Patriots. They’re slam dunks before you’ve even found the game on GamePass. Whilst the top teams in the NFC battle out for a limited amount of playoff spots between a bunch of great teams, the Patriots are sitting pretty in a weak AFC knowing that there is only one big game is left in the regular season for them, and it’ll be taking place at Heinz Field.
There’s no such thing as a trap game!
We hear this so often from players and coaches alike that it might seem like a cliché, but it’s true. Every opponent is dangerous, every team has 53 professional football players on their roster and “on any given Sunday, any team in the NFL can beat any other team.”
On this Sunday, the Bills were 26-16 victors over the Broncos.
