Patriots beat Bills, 40-32: Full highlights and recap
By Josh Hill
The New England Patriots entered Sunday’s game knowing they could beat the Bills but there’s always something about matchups between the Patriots and Rex Ryan that keeps things interesting. This Sunday was no exception to that rule, as the patriots big lead dwindled late and the Bills made a huge run at upsetting their divisional foes.
After jumping out to a huge lead that carried over into the fourth quarter, the Patriots inexplicably allowed the Bills back into the game by foolishly trying to run up the score on Rex Ryan.
Three Stars Of The Game
1. Tom Brady
The Patriots needed Tom Brady to come out and ball hard and that’s exactly what he did. He wasn’t perfect, but he threw down another multi-touchdown game and continues to look like a MVP candidate through two weeks in the season. He has work to do, but Brady is looking to continue to blow people up this season in his year of revenge.
2. Dion Lewis
You can never truly rely on a Patriots running back since they cycle through them all so often, but there’s a lot to love when it comes to Dion Lewis. He’s a running back that can produce out of the backfield, but there’s a pass catching element to his game that is killer too.
3. Danny Amendola
There was one huge catch by Amendola in the game and it came late in the game when the Patriots really needed it. Mr. Glass is usually good for a handful of good catches a season, but this was a big time catch in a big time spot that really bailed the Patriots out.
Odds
The line on the game was even, which means all you needed to do was pick the winner.
Next Week
New England will play the Jaguars in what will undoubtedly be a bloodbath, while the Bills will get another divisional matchup as they head south to Miami.
