The New England Patriots saw a 14-0 lead evaporate in a loss to the Buffalo Bills on Sunday.
The AFC East cellar dwellers helped the division leaders with a brutal mistake in the fourth quarter of the 24-21 defeat.
Trailing 17-14 in the fourth quarter, Drake May threw a backward pass/lateral that was blown up by Buffalo’s Taron Johnson. The live ball wound up in the end zone where Johnson recovered it for the touchdown.
The Bills get a TD thanks to a dropped Patriots lateral.
