ORCHARD PARK, N.Y. — The Buffalo Bills are looking to clean up their game after the New England Patriots, their divisional rival, handed them their first loss of the season.
www.youtube.com/watch?v=JZKZiGnGPq4The Bills fell to the Patriots 29-26 during their third home game in a row at the new Highmark Stadium. Next, the 3-1 Bills will travel to Los Angeles to take on the Rams on Monday Night Football. An interception thrown by quarterback Josh Allen under pressure late in the fourth quarter sealed the deal on the loss. However, the defense also struggled at times throughout the game, especially in the final moments.

“We’re not going to make excuses. We’re not going to let others make excuses for us. Let’s just start with ourselves and then we’ll continue to clean it up and obviously start with myself,” head coach Joe Brady said.
Reaction to defensive struggles
The defense had made key plays in previous games against the Houston Texans and Los Angeles Chargers, but could not get a stop this time. Bills pass rusher Bradley Chubb reflected on the team’s mindset.
“We’re going to approach the week the same exact way. I mean the same exact way with a mindset that we don’t, you know, make every play and you don’t make those plays. You’re not going to make those plays, but at the end of the day is about the process and how you respond,” Chubb said.
Safety CJ Gardner-Johnson was visibly upset in the locker room, saying he believed the Bills played better and that the last play was just lucky for the Patriots. Cornerback Maxwell Harrison struggled while filling in for the injured Christian Benford. Brady said he still has faith in Harrison’s abilities.
“But I got all the confidence in Maxwell. Like there’s a reason he’s out there and, you know, balls that are thrown to him. I expect him to go make those plays,” Brady said.
The defense, especially the secondary, will be important when the Bills face the Rams. The Rams offense features Puka Nacua and Devontae Adams, making it crucial for the Bills to tighten up their coverage.
Josh Allen speaks about interception
When Josh Allen felt pressure from the New England defense with just over a minute left in the fourth quarter, he heaved the ball deep down the left sideline and into double coverage. Rather than a Bill, it was Patriot Craig Woodson who caught the ball.
“The division ones sting. I mean, it feels like it’s really a two-game swing. And you got to find a way to learn from this and move forward, move it in the back of our brains and learn from it and move on,” Allen said.
The Bills are still the leaders of the AFC East with a 3-1 record compared to the Patriots’ 2-2 record. The Jets have a 1-3 record, while the Dolphins have lost all four games so far.
