Five takeaways from a 37-16 Patriots win that wasn’t as easy as the score would indicate…
BILLS DON’T GET REVENGE ON GRONK
A major storyline of Sunday’s game – and perhaps a major provocateur of anxiety for Patriots fans ahead of said contest – was whether the Bills might target Rob Gronkowski in the teams’ first meeting since the Patriots tight end drilled Bills cornerback Tre’Davious White with a cheap shot to the head on Dec. 3.
It turned out, though, to be no story at all.
If the Bills had slipped up in a snowy game against the Colts, or if the Dolphins had followed up their excellent effort against the Patriots with another against Buffalo, things might’ve been different.
