With the loss, the Bills fall to 7-4 on the season and they drop a spot to sixth in the AFC thanks to a tiebreaker loss to the Chargers. They can fall even further depending on how Week 12 plays out with the Jacksonville Jaguars. If the Jags beat the Cardinals, Buffalo is in seventh place in the AFC with the Chargers on their bye

The New England Patriots enter Week 12 in the driver's seat to win the AFC East. However, how they got to this point leads to more questions.

The Buffalo Bills' defense has been battered with injuries this season, especially along the defensive line. With edge rushers Michael Hoecht and Landon Jackson on season-ending IR, Brandon Beane reportedly attempted to sign rookie defensive end Bradyn Swinson off of the New England Patriots' practice squad.

The Buffalo Bills may have caught a break, with Bengals quarterback Joe Burrow potentially returning against the Patriots.

After the game, Bills left tackle Dion Dawkins took accountability for the false start that led to their team's loss.

New England Patriots quarterback Drake Maye made it clear on Sunday that his team is not worried about the Buffalo Bills.
