Costly Turnovers Doom Bills As Josh Allen Admits Mistake Against Patriots

The Buffalo Bills' promising start to the season unraveled in a 29-26 loss to the New England Patriots at Highmark Stadium, as costly turnovers and a critical interception sealed their first defeat under rookie coach Joe Brady. Josh Allen, who had been playing without a turnover in his first two games, threw an ill-advised deep pass into double coverage that Craig Woodson intercepted, ending Buffalo’s final drive.

Allen later admitted the mistake, saying he should have thrown the ball out of bounds to keep the drive alive. The Bills, who had combined for 77 points and 855 yards in their first two wins, struggled offensively, committing three turnovers—two interceptions and a fumble—while also dealing with key injuries to receiver DJ Moore and defensive tackle Ed Oliver.

Despite Allen’s 88th career touchdown and a strong performance from Keon Coleman with six catches for 116 yards, the Patriots capitalized on the Bills’ errors to take the lead and hold on for the victory. The loss drops Buffalo to 3-1 and leaves them one game behind the Patriots in the division race, setting the stage for a challenging two-game West Coast swing starting with a Monday Night Football matchup against the Los Angeles Rams.
