BOSTON -- For the first 30 minutes of Sunday's frozen football game in Buffalo, the New England Patriots looked like a functional NFL team. Jerod Mayo's squad came out firing and controlled the clock on offense, which kept Josh Allen from lighting a fire for the Bills.
The Patriots led 14-7 at the break, and it looked like the 14-point underdogs had a shot at one of the season's biggest upsets. But the Patriots are now 3-12 for a reason, as they reverted back into being their own worst enemy in the second half.
In the end, the talent discrepancy won out at Highmark Stadium and the Bills are feeling nice and warm after a 24-21 win over their AFC East foe.
