The end result may not have been what two Patriots championship veterans would have hoped for, but in the potential final NFL game of their illustrious careers, cornerback Devin McCourty and special teamer Matthew Slater each had impacts on the Patriots playing close with the Bills for a good portion of Sunday afternoon in Buffalo.
McCourty could be going out on a high note after recording an interception, a fumble recovery, and a big pass-breakup in the end zone.
Slater meanwhile, on a largely forgettable day by the Patriots’ special teams unit, still gave the team a chance by forcing a fumble that gave the offense a second chance late in the game.
