The Buffalo Bills manage a win against New England to open the 13th NFL game. For the Patriots, quarterback Mac Jones in particular is unable to continue his recent performance.

Munich – The Buffalo Bills have claimed another victory to kick off the 13th NFL game day. In the Thursday Night Game, head coach Sean McDermott’s team won 24-10 against the New England Patriots in the division duel of the AFC East.

Bills quarterback Josh Allen put in a strong performance, completing 22 of 33 passes thrown his way for 223 yards and two touchdowns – but he also suffered a fumble.

His opposite number Mac Jones, on the other hand, could not keep up with his recent performances. For large parts of the game, the signal caller looked unsure, ending up with 195 passing yards and one touchdown. The playmaker already gave free rein to his frustration during the game. According to US media, cameras caught him yelling in the direction of play caller Matt Patricia: “Throw the damn ball, the damn running game sucks. “

Bills’ defense tough as nails

Anyway, it wasn’t the Patriots’ game: After a strong 48-yard touchdown pass from Mac Jones to Marcus Jones – the cornerback scored this impressive touchdown on his first ever snap for the Patriots – the hosts couldn’t get beyond a field goal in the next three periods.

The franchise’s poor third-down performance (just three of 12) was a particular problem. In addition, the Bills defence showed itself to be strong.
