Even though they lost on Sunday, the Patriots did something they’ve struggled to do for much of the last four years: contain Josh Allen.
The Bills star quarterback completed just 15 of 30 passes for 169 yards, zero touchdowns, and an interception with a 53.3 passer rating, adding 44 rushing yards and two rushing scores in their 27-21 win over the Patriots.
Allen’s numbers ended up getting better as the game went along though, struggling mightily to do any damage through the air to open up the game. He threw an incompletion on his first six passes and completed just two of his first 11 throws of the game.
