New England Patriots Prove They Don’t Depend on Mac Jones; Beat Buffalo Bills With Incredible Running Game

The AFC has a new leader. With nine wins and only four losses, the New England Patriots are having an amazing season. Their recent victory over the Buffalo Bills was a technical masterpiece. The Patriots proved to everyone that they do not solely depend on their star quarterback Mac Jones to provide wins. 

The wind wasn’t anyone’s ally last night as both the teams faced up to 40kmph gusting wind. The 10-14 victory over the Bills had a sloppy start. A few passes were missed, and the ball was dropped a couple of times. Things changed after Damien Harris scored a phenomenal touchdown.

The Patriots running back ran straight through the middle of everyone and sprinted for 64 yards. The season-best 111 rushing yards have Harris’ name on it. New England also had a successful two points conversion following the touchdown. 

Defense outshines Mac Jones

Mac Jones was not the star of the night because he only completed two of his three attempted passes in the entire game. This number is the lowest in NFL history since 1974. Ironically, it involves the Bills, as it was their quarterback, Joe Ferguson, who holds this infamous record. He went 0 of two.

With 1:55 remaining on the clock, it was the Patriots defensive back, Miles Bryant, who sealed the deal. The Bills were only down by four points, and they could turn the entire game around with just one touchdown. The quarterback, Josh Allen, did not give up until the whistle was blown. Allen was trying to find his man near the end zone. He threw a pass, but Bryant shut it down. It was the Patriots’ beautiful defense who stole the show last night.

New England is finally in familiar territory. The top of the entire AFC division. The Patriots have a habit of staying on the top and winning it all. It should come as no surprise that they have already booked their ticket in the playoffs. The Buffalo Bills, on the other hand, have been very inconsistent. They have lost four of their last seven games. The Bills can still make it to the playoffs as well. They are only one win behind the Patriots.

The Action and drama will continue in the AFC East division. Any game can change the entire outcome of the season for all the teams.
