Tom Brady, Patriots Survive Bills 16-10 to Remain Undefeated; Josh Allen Injured

The New England Patriots continued their winning ways with a 16-10 road win Sunday over the previously undefeated Buffalo Bills.

Tom Brady now has a 31-3 record against the Bills, and the Patriots haven't lost at New Era Field since 2011.

Though Brady didn't do much, the defense dominated as the Patriots improved to 4-0 for the first time since 2015, when they began 10-0. The Bills (3-1) remain in second place in the AFC East.

Patriots Defense Elite

New England entered the week as the No. 1 scoring defense, with zero touchdowns allowed, and the unit was even more impressive Sunday.

The secondary forced four interceptions, and Buffalo had just three points at the half:

That led to a 2.2 quarterback rating for Josh Allen in the first half and a 24.0 mark overall before he suffered a head injury early in the fourth quarter after an illegal hit from Jonathan Jones.

Prior to that, the Patriots eventually allowed the Bills into the end zone on an Allen quarterback sneak, but the defense came up big the next time at the goal line with a fourth-down stop in the fourth quarter. A pick on the final drive off Matt Barkley sealed the win.

The pass rush was on point, with five sacks and seven quarterback hits, while the secondary allowed few openings.

Meanwhile, special teams also did its job, as J.C. Jackson blocked a punt, leading to a touchdown:

Bills QBs Struggle

The Bills defense contained the Patriots' attack nearly every drive:

The only points allowed on defense came after interceptions, and even then points were difficult to come by. Had Allen or Barkley done anything positive, this could have been an upset. 

Frank Gore also had his first 100-yard game since last October and broke off some vintage runs:

What's Next?
