Week 13 of the NFL season kicks off with a highly anticipated matchup featuring Mac Jones and the New England Patriots (6-5) playing host to Josh Allen and the Buffalo Bills (8-3) in Foxborough, Massachusetts.
Heading into Thursday’s tilt, the Bills were second in the tight AFC East, while the Patriots were in last.
Here are the top plays!
Buffalo Bills 24 vs. New England Patriots 10
First things first
The Bills’ opening drive nets a field goal. Check out this tricky flick by Allen to Nyheim Hines to set it up:
Quick response
After going three and out on their first possession, the Pats advanced at will on their next one. It culminated with Mac Jones completing a short pass to Marcus Jones, who did the rest.
Cooking up
James Cook charges through the middle of the field for a gain of 28 yards to make it to the Patriots’ 15.
Lead change
Allen finds Stefon Diggs in the deep corner of the end zone for a touchdown, giving the Bills a 10-7 advantage.
Fire away
Sprinting toward the sideline, Allen manages to fire off a pass mid-air before falling out of bounds, and Gabe Davis makes the touchdown catch to increase Buffalo’s lead to 10.
It’s a fumble!
Moments after a Bills TD was negated by a holding penalty, Josh Uche strips Allen and the Patriots recover. That set up a field goal just before halftime to make it a 17-7 game.
Almost awesome
Jordan Poyer came flying in to intercept the ball on the sideline, but upon review, the play was overturned. The score still stands at 17-7.
Pulling away
After a nine-minute drive in which Allen ran the ball to the Patriots’ 1, Devin Singletary punches it home for a touchdown, bringing the Bills’ lead to 24-7.
Shut down
A.J. Epenesa thwarts the Patriots offensive drive as the game nears its end with a big sack of Jones. The Patriots kick a field goal to bring the score to 24-10, the final score of the night.
