4 takeaways from Patriots’ heartbreaking defeat to Bills in Week 8

The Patriots fall to 2-5 on the season after the defeat.

The New England Patriots have unbelievably lost four straight games.

New England dropped their Week 8 match-up against Buffalo 24-21 after a comeback attempt that came up just short due to a Cam Newton fumble on the final drive with less than a minute left.

The Patriots’ offense looked better than they have in recent weeks, but they still struggled to put a lot of successful drives together. Bill Belichick and Josh McDaniels will have quite the challenge in front of them over the next few weeks if they want to right their ship.

New England, now 2-5, are in third place in the AFC East behind Buffalo and Miami with a lot of tough games ahead of them. Luckily, next week’s opponent should be less difficult with the winless Jets on the schedule.
