Phil Perry shares what he’s hearing about Patriots coaching staff and their job security heading into Week 18 against the Bills.
What to Know
- The Patriots finish the season with a 4-13 record and will pick fourth in the 2025 NFL Draft.
- Joe Milton replaced Drake Maye early and shined in his NFL debut (22 of 29 for 241 yards, pass TD, rush TD).
- The Bills primarily played their backups, as starter Josh Allen only played one snap.
- The Patriots fired Jerod Mayo just over an hour after the loss.
The New England Patriots’ first win since Nov. 10 comes at a cost.
The Patriots defeated the Buffalo Bills 23-16 in their Week 18 season finale at Gillette Stadium on Sunday to finish the 2024 campaign with a 4-13 record.
While Joe Milton delivered a dazzling performance in his NFL debut, the victory costs New England the No. 1 pick in the 2025 NFL Draft, as the Patriots now will select fourth in the first round instead.
