The Patriots' season is officially over.
Mac Jones tried to complete a deep shot of his own on the ensuing New England drive on a third down, but DeVante Parker was unable to catch that one, with the ball bouncing off his facemask. But on the punt that followed, Buffalo's Taiwan Jones' leg hit the loose ball, and Ja'Whaun Bentley pounced on the pigskin, giving New England a bonus possession at the Buffalo 35-yard line.
The Patriots couldn't capitalize though, with an offensive pass interference penalty on Henry pushing the Patriots back before Jones tried to force a throw to Henry on third-and-19. Henry only got one hand on the high pass, deflecting it into the end zone where Matt Milano picked it off before returning it out to the 40-yard line.
The Patriots forced a punt, but on their next possession, Damien Harris bobbled a pass from Jones over the middle, knocking the ball into the air before it was intercepted by Tremaine Edmunds. Jones finished the day completing 26 of his 40 passes for 243 yards with three touchdowns and three interceptions -- though two of his picks were off deflections. Josh Allen was 19-for-31 for 254 yards with three touchdowns and one interception.
While the Patriots competed throughout the contest, the Bills were -- as expected -- too much for them to handle. As a result, it'll be a long winter and spring in New England, one that is likely to bring some changes for a team that has not won a playoff game in the past four seasons.
