Josh Allen In Walking Boot After Loss To Buccaneers

Dec 13, 2021 8:17 AM

Josh Allen entered his postgame news conference with a walking boot on his lower left leg after the Buffalo Bills' 33-27 loss to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers on Sunday.

Allen said he isn't "quite sure" what the injury is, but that there will be further tests on it Monday. The Bills called it a foot injury.

"Finished the game on it, so I don't think it's going to be a big deal," he said, adding that "it's pretty sore. It's football."

Allen appeared to suffer the injury at the end of a 23-yard run in the fourth quarter. He did not miss a snap but was limping throughout the rest of the game.

Josh Allen: Bills Aren't Panicking

Dec 10, 2021 9:18 AM

The Buffalo Bills are 3-4 over their last seven games despite entering the season with Super Bowl aspirations.

The Bills don't have much time to regroup with a game against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in Week 14.

"We're extremely hungry," Josh Allen said. "I think there obviously is a sense of urgency of what we need to do. But there's no panic in our locker room. We're extremely united right now with what we need to do. We’ve had a couple of really good days of practice and walkthroughs and we're looking forward to going out there and getting a chance to play against the defending world champs and arguably one of the greatest quarterbacks to ever play the game."

Sean McDermott: Let's Not Give Too Much Credit To Bill Belichick

Dec 8, 2021 8:50 AM

Sean McDermott believes Bill Belichick is getting too much credit for the New England Patriots' 14-10 win over the Buffalo Bills on Monday night.

The Patriots called just three pass plays for Mac Jones, who completed two passes for 19 yards in the win. The weather was a huge factor in Buffalo with high wind gusts.

"Let's not give more credit than we need to give credit to Bill Belichick in this one," McDermott said after the loss. "Whether it was Bill or anybody else, they beat us, right? But you sit here and you tell me when we start with an average starting field position of the 40-yard line and he starts with the 23-yard line -- I'm rounding up in both cases -- and we were 1 for 4 in the red zone and they were 0 for 1 in the red zone? You give me that ahead of time, I'd say I like my chances. I like my chances. 

"I don't think, with all due respect, it's not a Bill Belichick-type thing. It's what are you doing with the opportunities you got? What are you doing with the opportunities you got? We turned the ball over on the plus-30-something yard line. Sloppy football. 

"Sloppy football. I'm very comfortable in that situation."

Patriots Throw Just Three Passes In Win Over Bills

Dec 7, 2021 9:08 AM

The New England Patriots threw just three passes in Monday night's 14-10 win over the Buffalo Bills.

Mac Jones was just 2-of-3 passing for 19 yards, while the Patriots ran for 222 yards on 46 carries.

"Just a crazy game to be a part of; it was just a weird day, but at the end of the day, you just get more points than the other team and it's a great day," Jones said. "I haven't seen that much wind, probably ever.

"Hats off to the offensive line for doing what they did; knowing we were going to run the ball and just putting their nose in there every play and making it happen was incredible. I've never been a part of something like that."

The three passing attempts are the fewest in Patriots history, while the two completions match their fewest, according to ESPN Stats & Info.

The three pass attempts were the fewest by any team since the Bills attempted just two in Week 3 of the 1974 season (vs. the New York Jets).
