"They'll have to replicate the kind of performance they had in the first half of last week's game, going up 21-0 over the Bills and heading into halftime up 24-7. It was an exciting start to what should have been an easy win, only for an immediate downfall to lead them to their third loss of the year. That meant Josh McDaniels and Mike Vrabel had many questions to answer"
"Josh McDaniels just said the quiet part out loud while explaining the Patriots' second-half collapse While speaking to reporters on Thursday, McDaniels reflected on the recent loss. Although he didn't excuse the offense for falling off a cliff in the second half, he didn't make things any better by admitting they might have felt comfortable with their lead, and that could explain what happened."
Patriots lost to the Bills after leading 24-7 at halftime, collapsing in the second half to suffer their third loss. The offense showed strong first-half play with Drake Maye scoring two rushing touchdowns, TreVeyon Henderson rushing 52 yards for a score, and Kayshon Boutte making an unbelievable catch. Questions surround the offense and coaching, with Josh McDaniels and Mike Vrabel facing scrutiny. McDaniels admitted players may have relaxed with the lead, suggesting human nature partly contributed to the collapse. The team remains in the postseason conversation and must respond against the Ravens Sunday night.
