However, the road upset - and thus a season sweep over their AFC East rivals - was right there for the taking. A disastrous first 20 minutes that saw four offensive turnovers in a span of six possessions, however, put the team in too big a hole to take advantage of a spirited performance by the defense and an early kickoff return touchdown.
Quarterback Bailey Zappe threw three interceptions, including one returned for a touchdown, while tight end Pharaoh Brown joined the party by losing a fumble. Those four plays either directly or indirectly resulted in all 20 of Buffalo's first-half points, and put the Patriots in a 13-point hole after they took an early lead.
