Buffalo Bills vs. New England Patriots highlights from Week 13 of the NFL season.
Josh Allen threw two touchdown passes as the Buffalo Bills beat the New England Patriots 24-10 on Thursday Night Football for their first win of the season.
Game Story
The Bills (9-3) were 0-2 against their opponents so far this season, with losses to the Miami Dolphins (8-3) and New York Jets (7-4), but Thursday night’s win over the Patriots. (6-6) now sees them in the hunt for first place in the AFC East.
The win was Buffalo’s third straight of the season, and third in a row (including the playoffs) against Bill Belichick’s men, having edged them out in the most recent playoff series.
Allen went 22 of 33 passing, for 223 yards, and with his two touchdowns became the first player in NFL history with three seasons of 25 passing TDs and five rushing scores. Running back Devin Singletary added a goal from under the goal line early in the fourth quarter.
Despite playing without tight end Von Miller, who suffered a knee injury in their Thanksgiving Day win over the Detroit Lions last week, Buffalo’s defense held the Patriots to three points in the final quarter of the contest.
New England quarterback Mac Jones looked upset about the big score of the evening. He completed 22 of 36 for 195 yards and a touchdown, which helped give the Pats a 7-3 lead in the first quarter.
Jones’ pass rush was marked by Marcus Jones, a running back and return man playing his first snap of the season who grabbed a pass and took it 48 yards to the house for the win.
The Bills got off to a slow start, setting up a field goal on their first possession, but after running back Allen went to work and led his team on an 82-yard, nine-play drive with an eight-yard TD to Stefon Diggs.
Then, following a Patriots punt, Buffalo’s offense put together another epic 56-yard, 14-play drive before Allen hesitated to rush New England and throw his body for an eight-yard gain to Gabe Davis.
After a scoreless third quarter, Singletary extended Buffalo’s lead early in the fourth, before Nick Folk’s field goal inside the final two minutes gave the Patriots a two-game lead.
