On their third Thursday appearance of the 2022 season, the Buffalo Bills recorded their third such win by a 24-10 score over the New England Patriots. The Bills held Mac Jones and Rhamondre Stevenson in check for the whole game, and avoided mistakes on offense, following the script toward a convincing win over their divisional rival.
The Patriots fudged up their opening drive when Mac Jones and Rhamondre Stevenson couldn’t cleanly complete a handoff on third and one. Stevenson fumbled the ball and the Patriots were forced to punt.
On their opening drive, the Bills advanced deep into Patriots territory with a 19 yard pass to Stefon Diggs and a 21 yarder to Nyheim Hines, but shot themselves in the foot by committing two penalties and giving up a sack to Josh Allen.
