Bills continue overcoming flaws, slow starts with another 2nd-half rally to beat Patriots

Josh Allen engineered five consecutive touchdown drives after halftime to erase a 21-point deficit, marking the largest road comeback for Buffalo since 1987, officials said.

  • In Foxborough, the Buffalo Bills erased a 21-0 deficit to beat the New England Patriots 35-31, matching their largest road comeback with five straight touchdown drives.
  • Ahead of the comeback, Buffalo Bills' recurring slow starts forced late-game rallies, as they were outscored 94-58 over the first 30 minutes in five recent games, with coach Sean McDermott's staff calling the team "battle-tested".
  • Despite appearing ill on the sideline, Josh Allen vomited in the fourth quarter yet led five straight touchdown drives, while the Buffalo defense allowed a season-high 246 yards rushing and four rushing touchdowns.
  • With the win, Buffalo remains alive in the AFC East race against New England, preserving its chance at a sixth straight title while traveling to Cleveland next before a crucial Week 17 showdown.
  • Injury losses to Christian Benford and Jordan Phillips complicate Buffalo's path despite late comebacks; the defense is depleted, though the team has outscored opponents 111-35 over final 30 minutes.
