Orchard Park, N.Y. (WGR Sports Radio 550) - It was a stinger in Orchard Park on Sunday as the Buffalo Bills fall to their division rival, New England Patriots by a score of 29-26. Their undefeated streak at the New Highmark Stadium, has come to an abrupt end.
Allen and the Bills looked to keep their undefeated streak alive and create a very sizeable distance between them and the Patriots in the AFC East standings. However, self-inflicted mistakes on both the offense and defensive sides of the ball put Drake Maye and the Patriots in prime position to take control of the game.
Bills quarterback Josh Allen had a substandard day, compared to his usual stats, completing 23/33 pass attempts for 253 yards, a touchdown, and a soul-crushing interception with just over two minutes remaining in regulation time.
Allen emphasized the Bills mistakes and expressed the disappointment of losing to a divisional opponent in his postgame media press conference.
"We hurt ourselves tonight. Offense, defense, special teams, everybody. We all feel like we could all play better. These ones sting. The division ones sting. I mean, it feels like a two-game swing, and we've got to find a way to to learn from this and move it in the back of our brain, and learn from it and move on."
Allen and wide receiver Keon Coleman were exceptional on offense vs New England, as Coleman caught six passes for 116 total yards and a go-ahead touchdown. Allen praised his wide receiver to the media.
"Keon made some some big catches for us there on third down and we need more of that moving forward."
