Patriots vs. Bills score, takeaways: Josh Allen, Stefon Diggs cruise past New England to take AFC East lead
‘Second down. Early second quarter. The Patriots had just scored a TD on their previous drive to go up 7-3 and now trailed 10-7 following the Bills’ answer. And then, backed up to their own 8-yard line, they stumbled over themselves.

The near-turnover, which also saw Jones penalized for roughing the passer, essentially killed the drive but also all of the Pats’ momentum up to that point. Buffalo easily punched the ball in on its ensuing drive with such good field position, quickly taking a 10-point advantage that would keep them in front.’
