Lawrence Guy didn’t seem to have fond memories from the New England Patriots’ brutal season finale, a 47-17 loss to the Buffalo Bills in the first round of the playoffs. Guy, during an interview with NBC Sport’s Phil Perry, discussed what he felt went wrong during the game.
“We didn’t come out there and play the game we should have played and it showed up,” Lawrence Guy said. “We’re a better team than that and we all know that we’re a better team than that and it didn’t show. So we’ve got to live with that and move on.”
Guy had four tackles in a game where the Buffalo Bills rushing attack posted 174 yards and two touchdowns at six yards per carry. Quarterback Josh Allen threw for 308 yards and five touchdowns. New England’s defense generated zero turnovers. Clearly, Buffalo was the superior team. But it wasn’t just that. It sounds like Guy thought the Patriots weren’t in the right headspace.
