The Bills ended the Patriots’ 10-game winning streak on Sunday, and as Mike Vrabel stated in January during his introductory press conference, times like this are a test of your team’s culture.
“When you get hit in the mouth, or you’re down, or the chips are against you, then you can take a snapshot of what your team looks like, and then you’ll find out what culture you have,” Vrabel said.
This is one of those times, with the opportunity to clinch the division, they let a 21-point lead slip away. This week’s game will matter little in the divisional standings, since the Patriots have to win their remaining two divisional games to clinch now.
