What wasn’t fun to watch

• Patriots collectively taking their foot off the gas pedal in the fourth quarter, getting outscored 21-3. It made the game more interesting than it should have been.

You may remember that the Buffalo fan base so extremely excited for this matchup. New coach, new quarterback, new mentality—the Bills and their fans were beyond confident that they were going to win this game and upset the balance of power in the AFC East. But they didn’t, and it was fun to watch the Patriots re-assert their dominance over their divisional rivals.
