The Bills scored just 10 points in the first three quarters, continuing a troubling trend the team has struggled to correct.
Josh Allen pushes behind the pile and breaks the goal line to give the Bills a late fourth-quarter lead over the Patriots.

For McDermott, getting into a rhythm means staying"on schedule" and being productive on first down to help avoid third-and-long situations. Against the Patriots, the Bills were mostly productive on first down, averaging 6.3 yards per play. It wasn't a big issue in Weeks 5-6 either, with the Bills averaging 8.1 yards per play on first down in those games.
Being productive on third-and-long is an issue. In third-and-7 or longer situations over the last three games, the Bills have gained 45 yards on 18 plays with Allen completing 31.3% of passes -- the worst team completion percentage in the league in those situations. "We aren't playing consistent enough or starting fast enough," Murray said."We turned it around toward the end, but you can't just turn it on, it's a little too late.": Allen has put together mixed performances when throwing deep, and the negative side has hurt the offense. He now has seven interceptions on passes of 15-plus air yards this season. The only time in his career he has thrown more was in his rookie year .
