‘the buffalo bills have some cleaning up to do. they had eight penalties in the first half totaling 65 yards and 11 accepted penalties in all. they were sloppy in other ways, with turnovers and drops, but luckily for them, the Patriots eventually had some key undisciplined plays of their own, allowing the bills to get back in the game. the Patriots are a team on the rise, but this was still an uninspired outing from the bills. buffalo’s first-half possessions went like this: fumble, punt, fumble, field goal, punt. the messy first half proved to be too much to overcome, as the bills took their first loss.’
