Bills Did a Good Job of Exposing the Patriots Despite Narrow Loss

The New England Patriots are still undefeated after four games, but last Sunday's narrow victory against the division rival Bills brings into question just how good they really are.

Yet again, the team's defense proved to be elite, as they only gave up 10 points, but they received some serious favors from the inept Bills offense. Quarterback Josh Allen threw a whopping three interceptions, and the team fumbled the ball twice.

On top of this, the Pats offense looked less than stellar, scoring a measly 16 points themselves. And unfortunately, a lot of the blame can be directed towards Tom Brady, who completed less than half of his passes and showed -- dare we say it -- real signs of aging.

New England's undefeated record also comes into question based of the level of competition they've faced so far, with the Bills being the only team they've faced with a winning record as of today.

Despite all these question marks, the Patriots are still the Patriots. They're still the defending champs. But if they can't get some momentum going, they may find themselves in some truly uncharacteristic struggles when the games matter most.
