‘Down 21 points in the second quarter, the win tied a Buffalo Bills team record for the largest comeback on the road, while also marking the team’s fourth all-time win when trailing by 17 or more at halftime.’

Thad Brown: Never die Bills will be huge pain in the AFC this January
‘There wasn’t anything weird in this comeback. There wasn’t anything lucky. The Bills forced only one turnover and it was really a 50-yard punt. Buffalo was ruthless in the second half of this game. They just straight up kicked the Patriots’ ass on both sides of the ball. This comeback was so dominant, the Bills took knees at the end of the game from the Patriots red zone.’
Buffalo Bills put on second half clinic to come back and defeat New England Patriots

‘”Just keep your head up,” tight end Dawson Knox said. “We’re not riding the wave, doing everything one play at a time … You can’t score 21 points in one play, you can’t score 21 points in one drive. There’s a lot of football left.”‘

Inside the Bills: When it's good vs. good, Josh Allen has a tendency to be great
‘Take a look at his numbers this season for the Buffalo Bills against the Baltimore Ravens, Kansas City Chiefs, Tampa Bay Buccaneers and Cincinnati Bengals: 97 of 133 (74.6 completion percentage), 1,235 passing yards, 9 passing touchdowns, 2 interceptions, 35 carries, 167 yards, 8 rushing touchdowns.’
Four keys for the Buffalo Bills to beat the New England Patriots
‘In the bills’ three-point loss to New England earlier this season, that was their downfall. The Patriots scored 10 of their 23 points off buffalo turnovers, gifted extra opportunities. Quarterback Josh Allen, who lost a fumble and threw an interception in the previous meeting, knows the team must clean things up. “If we go back and we can say we turned it over I think three times that game – you’re not gonna win many football games doing that,” Allen said Wednesday. The bills have had 12 turnovers in their past five games. That is not a streak that can continue if they hope to win meaningful games in December.’
Bills numbers to know: 4 trends to watch for rematch with Patriots
3.2 – Over the past two games, buffalo’s defense has allowed just 3.2 yards per carry. The Steelers and Bengals rushed for a combined 120 yards on 37 carries, which forced both teams to rely on their quarterback to try to win the game. The Bills held Patriots running backs Rhamondre Stevenson and TreVeyon Henderson to a combined 38 yards on 13 carries. Their struggles forced New England to have Maye throw the ball 30 times.’
Bills-Patriots: Who you got? Buffalo News writers make their predictions for Sunday's game
‘after starting 1-2, the Patriots have won 10 straight. unfortunately for the Bills, I think that continues on Sunday. The possibility of not having cornerback Christian Benford looms large – he’s been their best player on defense in back-to-back weeks. On the offensive side of the ball, the Bills will want to establish the run early. James Cook’s 49 rushing yards on 15 carries in the last meeting wasn’t enough. The Bills notch a rare December loss in Foxborough. Patriots, 30-28.’
Bills Mailbag: What to make of Christian Benford's PFF grade against the Bengals
‘My thinking there is because he was only targeted twice, and did not allow a completion, Benford simply wasn’t challenged enough to drastically impact his coverage grade either positively or negatively. You could argue that the reason he was only targeted twice is because of his coverage, but someone from PFF would have to explain whether that factors into the grade.’

What channel is Bills-Patriots game on? Start time, how to watch NFL Week 15
‘Moving Bills-Patriots to Sunday night wasn’t feasible because the NBC game – while far less attractive with the Vikings visit the Cowboys – wasn’t going to be switched because the Cowboys remain a ratings-driving machine, especially since they are very much alive in the NFC playoff race.’
How Buffalo Bills’ Josh Allen is making sure ‘everybody eats’ on his o-line this holiday season
‘That’s why Allen and Steinfeld gifted every offensive lineman with one-quarter of a cow. Considering Buffalo’s “everybody eats” mantra on offense, it seems like the perfect gift.’
