Devin McCourty’s take on the Patriots’ approach to the rest of the season: Though the Patriots lost to the Bills 35-31 on Sunday, ending the team’s 10-game winning streak, New England remains in a strong position heading toward the NFL playoffs.
At 11-3, the Patriots remain a game above the Bills in the fight for the AFC East, and on the cusp of clinching a playoff spot. In the view of former New England defensive back (and now NBC Sports commentator) Devin McCourty, the loss against Buffalo is not cause to get carried away.
