Takeaways: Weather, McDermott among damning factors in Bills’ loss to Patriots

The Buffalo Bills lost to the New England Patriots on Monday night in a game that was hard to watch for most of the action. The Bills folded on defense, eventually figured it out on offense, but couldn’t score enough points when it mattered to secure the victory. Now they’re in an all-out fight for their postseason lives.

Weather sets the tone

Both teams came out cautious and running the ball with a steady 25-MPH wind and gusts at more than 50. The Patriots started the game with ten straight runs as part of 23 total running calls in the first half.
