The first quarter started out flat for the Bills as they were able to compile a 9 play 37 yard drive that settled for a field goal from Tyler Bass.  When the Patriots got the ball back they went straight to work compiling a methodical drive that went for 75 yards and was capped off by a 48 yard touchdown pass from Mac Jones to Marcus Jones.  At the end of the first quarter, the score was 7-3 Patriots.

The second quarter had the bills awaken as they were able to keep the Patriots off the score board while compiling good offensive drives.  The Bills kicked off the second quarter with a 82 yard drive that ended with a 8 yard touchdown pass from Josh Allen to Stefon Diggs.  They were also able to lead another long 14 play 56 yard drive that chewed a lot of time off the clock and ended with Allen finding Gabe Davis in the end-zone for an 8 yard pass.

Both teams were held scoreless coming out of the third quarter.  With the score being 14-3, the Patriots were running out of time to try and come away with a win.  The Bills were able to slam the door shut on the Patriots in the fourth quarter.  The Bills started with the ball and they were able to compile a 15 play 94 yard drive that took 8 minutes and 55 seconds off the clock and ended with Devin Singletary scoring a 1 yard rushing touchdown. 

The Patriots weren't able to get anything going the rest of the game and they were only able to score a field goal at the very end of the 4th quarter off of a 17 play 57 yard drive.  The Bills were able to win the game 24-10.  The Patriots lost due to their inability to get their offense going which has been a common theme throughout the season, they have a good defense and if they were able to get the passing game going they could be real contenders.

Raiders at Chiefs Week 5 MNF Recap

 One of the better prime time games of the year took place this past Monday night when the Raiders took on Chiefs at GEHA Field.  The Chiefs went into the game as the clear favorites as they were favored by seven points and the Raiders were getting seven points.  The Raiders came into the game 1-3 as they have struggled to use their weapons on offense effectively and they have been shown to have a vulnerable defense. Meanwhile, the Chiefs came rolling into the game 3-1 and they looked like the Chiefs from years past even though they lost one of their best offensive weapons in Tyreek Hill in the offseason.  The Chiefs were able to show that their offense can adapt without Hill and they can still be just as successful when using superstar tight end Travis Kelce who scored 4 touchdowns this game.  (Jay Biggerstaff, USA Today Sports) The Raiders were able to get off to a fast start at the beginning of the game when they scored the first touchdown.  With the ball near mid field the Raiders
