Adam Kaufman saw firsthand the battle for the AFC East, which looked like it was gonna go one way, and then it went the other. So let's bring him in to ask him what happened here. Adam, great to have you back here, of course, on the show on Newswire. It looked like the Patriots were gonna wrap up the AFC East. Uh, at halftime to me, they were up 21-0. It was a real impressive offensive performance, but defensively, the Patriots looked stout. What went wrong in the second half? Is it just simply, they're playing against the very best player in the National Football League and it isn't even close? Is that a fair assessment? Cause to me, that's sure how it looks like right now. I think there are multiple things at play, you know, obviously, for anyone that watched that game or was in attendance as I was, we saw history. You know, the Patriots had won 120 straight games at home when leading by at least 17 points. Matter of fact, in NFL history, a team had never, a team sitting at least 9 games over 500, leading by at least 20 points, had never lost, period. In league history. So, the Patriots giving up a 21-0 lead, obviously, it was 24-7 at the break, and then watching that onslaught from Josh Allen in the second half. It was historic. In terms of how it kinda happened, it was very much both sides of the football, a tale of two halves. You had a Bills offense that really couldn't do anything in that opening half. In fact, Josh Allen had negative passing yardage in the opening quarter of the game. They weren't running particularly well. Trayvon Henderson was running all over the place. Ramondre Stevenson to a degree as well. You had two design runs for touchdowns out of Drake May. For whatever reason, and really the shift began late in the 2nd quarter, but into the 2nd half, it, it just, it completely flipped. The Bills scored. Touchdowns on 5 straight drives. That's not just scoring, it was touchdowns on 5 straight drives. And New England defensively. Even though they are a top 10 defense in the NFL by many, many metrics, their red zone efficiency defensively is awful. Offense and defense for that matter. But defensively, they have the worst red zone showing across the board. 75%. That, that's the efficiency. 75% of drives from their opponents. And in touchdowns. Never mind putting points up with field goals. And at home, at Gillette Stadium, it's even worse. It's 85%. The Bills went 5 for 6 in the red zone yesterday. I think you could look at the Pats' offense that scored only 7 points in that second half, only mustered 100 total yards, and See how just the, the shift in play calling happened. Traveon Henderson, I know he had the 65 yard touchdown run, but barely had any attempts in the second half. They, they broke away from the run, kind of altogether. I don't really understand why they would abandon something that was working so well for them in the opening half. And yeah, Josh Allen is a machine. Guys come back from down double digits in the second half in the 4th quarter, no less, against Baltimore, against Cincinnati, and here obviously in this game overcomes the 3-touchdown deficit. Patriots should still win the division. They're up a game. They hold a, a slew of tiebreakers, but the Bills are absolutely not a team that anyone wants to mess around with in the playoffs, that's for sure.
