Patriots Post-Game Show Week 13 - Patriots 23 Bills 3
- 6 years ago
It was a frustrating start but satisfying end to the day for Tom Brady.
The star quarterback yelled at offensive coordinator and close friend Josh McDaniels after his first series of the day and couldn’t direct the Patriots into the end zone in the first half.
But Brady, thanks to an overpowering run game and a swarming defense, was able to overcome a sluggish first half and yelling at his offensive coordinator to post a 23-3 win over the Buffalo Bills at New Era Field in Orchard Park, N.Y. The win was the eighth straight overall for the Patriots, who improve to 10-2 on the season and clinch a tie for the AFC East Division title. The Patriots can clinch their 10th straight division title with a win next Monday night in Miami against the Dolphins.
“They did a good job,” Brady said of Buffalo’s first-half defense. “It’s a new defense, a new scheme, some new players. Just got to learn and adjust and try to get the win. Any time you win on the road against a division opponent, it’s a good win. Just got to keep it going.”
The win was also New England’s 14th straight road victory, just four shy of the NFL record set by the San Francisco 49ers from 1988-90.
Before losing his cool late in the fourth quarter, Rob Gronkowski led the pass receiving game, hauling in nine catches for 147 yards, including seven catches for 119 yards in the second half. Rex Burkhead had touchdown runs of one and 14 yards to wear down and pull away from the Bills in the second half. Eric Lee had a key red zone interception on the game’s first drive to turn early momentum in New England’s favor.
Brady, who won for the 27th time in 30 career starts against the Bills, finished 21-of-30 for 258 yards on the day, with an interception and no touchdowns. Brady’s 27 wins is the most ever by a quarterback over an opponent.
