‘”He’s been doing treatment and trying to rehab it,” Beane said. “We don’t want to rush him back, and he’s a competitor. That’s why we love him. That’s why he’s so great. The competitor in him — if he could wheel it out there tonight, he would do it.”‘

The pass into the end zone was caught for a TD by wide receiver Gabe Davis and stretched the Bills’ advantage to 17-7. It was Davis’ first catch of the game.’

We just think in talking to the medical people that the best decision right now is to give this time, and that gives him the best opportunity to help us down the stretch.”‘
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. Mac Jones nearly got hit in the end zone for a safety, barely getting rid of the ball beforehand, and Cole Strange was flagged for holding, to make matters worse. 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.’
