Not many people woke up Sunday morning thinking the New England Patriots would upset the Buffalo Bills. But even fewer woke up thinking Mac Jones would outplay Josh Allen at quarterback.
That’s exactly what happened in the Week 7 matchup between the AFC East division rivals.
The Patriots ended a three-game losing streak by toppling a Bills team that has owned them over the last two years. And Jones, who had been benched in two of his last three games, outplayed one of the most talented quarterbacks in the league in Allen.
With less than two minutes left in the game, Jones led the Patriots on a game-winning touchdown drive late in the fourth quarter to knock off the Bills at home.
Jones also won in the quarterback stats department, going 25-of-30 for 272 yards and two touchdowns as opposed to Allen’s 27-of-41 passing for 265 yards, two touchdowns and one interception. That led to many on social media relentlessly trolling the Bills quarterback after the loss.
A week ago, people were talking about Jones being replaced by Malik Cunningham, and on Sunday, he was outdueling Allen and looking like the more efficient signal-caller under center.
Here’s what people were saying about the game:
Mac Jones having better stats than Josh Allen is a sight for sore eyes lmao.

You put Mac Jones on that Buffalo Bills team and they are 6-1. Josh Allen had another 2 turnovers today, over threw a wide open Diggs, and just choked against the Jets. Mac Jones would never. https://t.co/RJaELYxknc
