The New England Patriots have done it again. On Sunday, December 28th, the Patriots defeated the Buffalo Bills 29-25 in a thrilling game that came down to the wire. Patriots rookie quarterback Mac Jones threw a late touchdown pass to Jakobi Meyers to seal the victory. With the win, Patriots head coach Bill Belichick became the third coach in NFL history to reach 300 career wins.
The game was a back-and-forth affair, with both teams trading scores throughout. The Bills had the lead for most of the game, but the Patriots were able to take the lead late in the fourth quarter. With just over two minutes left in the game, Mac Jones threw a touchdown pass to Jakobi Meyers to put the Patriots up 29-25. The Bills had one last chance to score, but their drive stalled and the Patriots held on for the win.
The win was especially impressive considering that Mac Jones was making his first career start. The rookie quarterback was efficient, completing 22 of his 28 passes for 249 yards and two touchdowns. He also added a rushing touchdown for good measure.
The win was also a milestone for Bill Belichick, who became the third coach in NFL history to reach 300 career wins. Belichick is now tied with Don Shula for second all-time in wins, trailing only George Halas (324). Belichick has been a fixture in the NFL since 1991, and his success has been unparalleled.
The Patriots have now won three games in a row, and are looking like a team that could make some noise in the playoffs. With Mac Jones at quarterback and Bill Belichick at the helm, anything is possible. The Patriots will look to continue their winning ways when they take on the Miami Dolphins next week.
