Buffalo Bills 0, New England Patriots 14: second half open thread
The second-ranked defense of the Buffalo Bills is powerless against the New England Patriots, and their rushing gameplan, and Buffalo trails New England 14-0 through two quarters in Foxborough. In the first half, the Patriots ran for 179 yards at an astonishing rate of 8.9 yards per carry.
In the first quarter, the Patriots paved a road directly through Buffalo’s defense. They ran up 85 yards on the ground, mixing Sony Michel, Cordarelle Patterson, Rex Burkhead, and James White. After Matt Darr shanked a punt which gave New England the ball at midfield, the Patriots drove almost exclusively with running plays and scored a touchdown on the ground to take a 7-0 lead.
