Top 3 things we learned from Bills vs.
Patriots.
Despite some of the team's up and down play over the last seven weeks when they've alternated between wins and losses, it appeared some of their red zone issues had been cleared up.
Through their last three games, Buffalo's offense had reached the end zone on 10 of their last 13 red zone possessions coming into their Monday night game with New England.
But in a wind-swept game in Orchard Park, Buffalo scored a single touchdown on four trips inside the Patriots 20-yard line, and it ultimately cost them the game.
"I think it's just the familiar topic of shooting ourselves in the foot at inopportune times.
We just seem to tend to do it at the absolute worst time.
So, for us, there's no finger pointing.
I think if you ask everyone on this team, there's plenty that they could have done to come out with a win, which we didn't do."

Helping to put the offense in position to reach the red zone was Buffalo's special teams unit, which was the only phase of the game that outplayed their opponent getting a takeaway and giving their offense superior field position against a special teams unit that led the league in their own average drive start as well as their opponents since Week 7.
