Patriots quarterback Mac Jones blew up at his team’s conservative passing tactics as New England slumped to a 24-10 loss to the Buffalo Bills – their fifth in their last six meetings between the teams.
After another failed drive in the second half, Jones took his helmet off as he trudged to the sideline, before roaring: “Throw the f***ing ball. F***ing quick game sucks. F***!”
The Patriots managed just 242 total yards, and never got going on offence as they constantly threw short to avoid the Bills’ highly-rated pass defence.
Jones threw for 195 yards on 22-of-36 attempts while running back Rhamondre Stevenson logged 54 rushing yards and added a team-high six receptions for 24 yards.
New England led 7-3 at the end of the first quarter after a 48-yard completion from quarterback Mac Jones to Marcus Jones for a touchdown.
The Bills took over thereafter, with Allen finding Stefon Diggs and Gabe Davis from close range for a pair of second-quarter touchdowns to make it 17-7 at the half.
Davis’ touchdown came after a superb piece of athleticism from Allen, the Bills quarterback rolling right and evading a tackle before delivering a pinpoint pass while off balance.
Buffalo extended their lead after a time-consuming 15-play, 94-yard drive that culminated early in the fourth quarter with Devin Singletary barging over from one-yard out.
That put the Bills 24-7 ahead, and the Patriots’ only response for the remainder of the quarter was a consolation Nick Folk field goal with 1min 53sec remaining.
