Patriots-Bills Stock Watch: Pats defense did good job vs. Josh Allen originally appeared on NBC Sports Boston
The New England Patriots didn't beat the Buffalo Bills in Sunday's Week 16 game at Highmark Stadium, but it still was, in several ways, an encouraging performance for head coach Jerod Mayo's team.
The Patriots were heavy underdogs coming in, but they played the AFC East-leading Bills pretty tough, even jumping out to a 14-0 lead early in the second quarter. A difficult second half, highlighted by numerous self-inflicted errors, ultimately led to a 24-14 loss for the Patriots.
