The first few times Buffalo Bills quarterback Josh Allen squared off against the New England Patriots, he struggled. In his premiere against the Patriots, the then-rookie completed fewer than 50 percent of his pass attempts, while also turning the ball over twice. The Bills fell 24-12 to the eventual world champions that day.
The young quarterback, continued to have a hard time against New England the following season. Allen again had a completion rate under 50 percent while tossing three interceptions in a 16-10 loss early in 2019. He did look improved later that year — going 13-for-26 for 208 yards and a pair of touchdowns — but he was still unable to guide his team to victory.
