One of the most anticipated games of Week 15 in the NFL took place at Gillette Stadium, where the New England Patriots were looking to secure a win to move closer to the No. 1 seed in the AFC. However, Josh Allen and his Buffalo Bills had other plans on a gray day in Foxborough.
True to their styles, both teams delivered one of the most electrifying games of the season, which ultimately ended in the Bills’ favor with a narrow 35–31 victory. The high level of play and commitment shown by his teammates prompted Allen to send a warning to its rivals ahead of what’s to come.
“I think it’s the love each man in that locker room has for each other,” the QB said, via a transcript from the Patriots. “The willingness to put their body on the line in order to not let their teammates down. That driving force. It’s the relationships in that room.
“And whether we are playing really good, whether we’re playing really bad, this team is going to stick together and continue to fight and continue to find ways to win football games. I think we saw that tonight.”
