21 December 2019: Bills at Patriots

Patriots game one. Ravens. Patriots game two. They’re all similar in that this team is good enough to win if all three phases play to their good (not even best) level and one of the phases plays exceptionally. The offense played well (yes – they did) against the #1 defense but not great, the special teams played well but not great, and the defense played well – but not their normal great. It wasn’t and isn’t enough.
