The Bills just became the first team to score a touchdown on four straight drives to start a game against the Patriots under Bill Belichick, per @ESPNStatsInfo.

That wasn't a flag in the corner of the end zone Kendrick Bourne was pointing at 🤣

FWIW: Patriots' kicker Nick Folk hasn't missed a field goal inside 50 yards since Week 1 of the 2020 season, a streak of 55 consecutive regular-season makes.

Looking to next season, if the Patriots can put a true No. 1 receiver with Kendrick Bourne, Jakobi Meyers and Hunter Henry, the passing attack should make some really big improvements. Mac Jones is for real, and so is the OL/RB group. The defensive fixes are more complicated.

The 2011 Patriots defense had Julian Edelman and Matthew Slater in the secondary, ranked 15th in scoring and 31st in yards, surrendered 30 total points in 2 AFC playoff games and got to the Super Bowl. The 2021 Pats ranked No. 2 in points, No. 4 in yards and did this.

What did the Bills do to catch the #Patriots off-guard? Devin McCourty: "Shit. Everything they did."

Patriots injury update: LB Ja'Whaun Bentley (arm) is questionable to return.

Micah Hyde back for the punt return. He calls for a fair catch. The #Bills get the ball back at their 19-yard line with 13:23 left in the second quarter. ... Mario Addison with the hustle play to force Damien Harris out of bounds a yard short of a first down.

Micah Hyde just made the play of the year! Thought Nelson Agholor beat the coverage and Hyde swooped in to make the pick. Spectacular.

Mac Jones had Hunter Henry wide open in the end zone. That pass was low, but Henry got his hands on it and dropped it.

Christian Barmore is active. That's crazy after he was carted off the field last weekend.

Despite getting called up from the practice squad, #Patriots WR Kristian Wilkerson is expected to be inactive for tonight's game against the #Bills. Could signal that someone on the fence injury-wise/listed as questionable is going to suit up for the Pats.

That's a brutal drop by Brandon Bolden. That would've been a 30-yard pick up. Can't have that.

Who knew New England would miss Jalen Mills this much?

Robert Kraft probably isn't thrilled that he spent all that money and his team looks like this

Mac Jones checks it down to Rhamondre Stevenson vs. what becomes a late two-high look from the Bills. Four yards. Bills can afford to play a little soft with the big lead. Should be opportunities for Patriots to make some plays underneath.

Eight coaching vacancies, but no requests submitted to interview Patriots offensive coordinator Josh McDaniels, yet. wp.me/pbBqYq-cb3p

CB De'Vante Bausby, elevated from the practice squad, on the field to start this defensive drive. He's No. 13.

Available Patriots cornerbacks tonight: J.C. Jackson Myles Bryant Joejuan Williams Justin Bethel D'Angelo Ross (up from PS) De'Vante Bausby (up from PS) Big challenge for that undermanned group vs. Buffalo's WRs.

Patriots inactives: Isaiah Wynn, Devin Asiasi, J.J. Taylor, Jarrett Stidham, Carl Davis, Chase Winovich, Kristian Wilkerson.

Joejuan Williams unable to keep pace on that route and a perfect throw by Allen who now shakes off Barmore. Allen's such a rare player - power runner with speed at quarterback and a laser arm that's becoming more accurate every year.

Practice squad call-ups D'Angelo Ross and De'Vante Bausby playing over Myles Bryant and Joejuan Williams on this drive.

Justin Bethel now in at cornerback for the Patriots.
