Unhappy returns: Pats eliminated in losing to Bills

Associated Press  

ORCHARD PARK, N.Y. — Playing in an emotionally charged stadium, where fans and Bills players celebrated safety Damar Hamlin’s remarkable recovery after his cardiac arrest in Cincinnati, isn’t what cost the New England Patriots a playoff berth. “The game’s a brutal game,” Patriots center David Andrews said. So it’s very difficult.” The Patriots defense also allowed Bills quarterback Josh Allen to complete long touchdown passes to John Brown and Stefon Diggs in the second half. “We’ll just leave it at that.” The Patriots did get emotional when faced with the uncertainty about whether veteran leaders Devin McCourty and Slater have played their final games in New England.
