Tom Brady today will start his 271st regular season game, 2nd most all time. If Brady start all remaining games this season and all 16 next, he'll overtake Brett Favre, 298, for the record in week 17 of 2020.#Patriots #NFL

A Brandon Bolden four yard run gave the Patriots the first points of the night, but kicker Stephen Gostkowski continued his early season struggles with another missed extra point.

In the third quarter, an opposing offense finally broke through on the Patriots stout defense as a Josh Allen opening drive rushing score made it a three point game.
13-10 New England
From @ESPNStatsInfo: Bills' 3rd quarter opening-drive TD snaps a streak of 18 straight quarters for the Patriots defense not allowing a TD, including playoffs. 1st time an opposing offense has found the end zone since 4th quarter of the AFC Championship game last season.

A Stephen Gostkowski 23 Yd Field Goal pushed the lead back to six after three quarters in a battle between two strong defenses.
The fourth quarter saw zero scoring from either side, but the Patriots defense out-dueled the Bills.
A Josh Allen/Jonathan Jones collision knocked Allen out of the game.
Jones’ hit drew a flag but not an ejection nor suspension.
This angle shows why Jonathan Jones avoided an ejection. Trying to establish shoulder contact, neither lowered his helmet nor launched into Allen, and Allen is running forward with his helmet down. Perhaps an unnecessary hit, but Allen invited contact with the way he ran here. pic.twitter.com/eB2lKWZt7D
