Moreover, with this Belichick has hit a new low in his career as a Patriots head coach. This was the first time in his two-decade tenure with the New England Patriots that the coach has suffered a 30 point loss in a playoff game. And so Josh Allen did not make a mistake this time and took full advantage of the opportunity to invite the Patriots and humiliate them in a game where everything was at stake.

Bill on his post-game interview admitted that they simply did not play up to the mark and that the Bills outperformed them in every aspect of the play. “[They] certainly deserved to win. Well coached. Team executed well. And we just couldn’t do much of anything,” Belichick said. Not making it past the Wild Card Round was definitely a bummer to a coach that accepts nothing less than a Super Bowl.
Bill Belichick handed the worst playoff defeat ever
The weather during the game was certainly unforgivingly cold. With temperatures plummeting to single digits and air freezing cold. Mac Jones finished with 24 of 38 pass attempts for 232 yards scoring two touchdowns and two interceptions. On the other hand, the winning quarterback Josh Allen hurled 21 passes of 25 attempts for 308 yards with five touchdowns and no interceptions.

No doubt how the Bills dominated the game all the way. The Patriots’ defense failed to contain the quarterback who was throwing the ball with laser-sharp precision. He led the Bills to back-to-back scores and the Bills mafia spared no chance to cheer for the team.
