Tough Loss

Last Sunday the Patriots had a disappointing loss to the Buffalo Bills. Up 3 touchdowns in only the first quarter, they blew the game. Tom Brady threw 4 interceptions for the first time since 2006. 2 of the 4 were not his fault, because they were deflected high into the air.

Rob Gronkowski had a career high 109 yards on 7 catches and 2 touchdowns. Brady still threw over 300 yards and 4 touchdowns.

Upcoming Schedule

Next week, on Sunday, The Patriots will be playing another division rival, The Buffalo Bills. Both teams are 2-0 to start off the season. The Bills have had a surprising start with Ryan Fitzpatrick leading their offense to victory, with the help from veteran running back Fred Jackson and wide receiver Steve Johnson. Jackson has two 100 yard rushing games to start off this year. For the Pats, the young tight end Aaron Hernandez, one of Brady's favorite targets, will be out for the game with an MCL injury. The tight end combination of Hernandez and Rob Gronkowski have a combined 5 touchdowns in the first 2 games of this season. Even with the loss of Hernandez New England is still the favorite.
