Winners and losers from Patriots’ Week 18 loss to Bills

Who were the winners and losers from Patriots’ 35-23 loss to the Bills?

The New England Patriots used up their final life in a 35-23 loss at Highmark Stadium to the rival Buffalo Bills on Sunday afternoon.

A valiant attempt to knock off arguably the best team in football on the road was futile in what has been a disappointing year for the Patriots. Once Bills quarterback Josh Allen and company turned on the offensive jets, all hope went out the window for New England.

They clearly lacked the offensive firepower to go head-to-head with the Bills’ explosive offense. And even with a talented defense on the other end, it’s always only a matter of time before Allen gets you.

The Patriots will now turn to the offseason with potential big changes on the horizon. There’s no way they can simply hit the do-over button and expect different results in 2023.

Here are the winners and losers from Sunday’s season finale.
