The New England Patriots seemed in control of their Week 15 matchup with the Buffalo Bills, holding a 21-0 lead in the second quarter against their division rivals and looking poised to clinch the AFC East. Unfortunately for New England, Josh Allen had other plans, leading the Bills to five consecutive touchdown drives, throwing three touchdowns to no interceptions as Buffalo outscored the Patriots 35-10 the rest of the way.
Joining The Greg Hill Show on WEEI in Boston, head coach Mike Vrabel had thoughts about the officiating of the game, saying he didn't think the game was called consistently.
“They do have a difficult job," Vrabel said via Ari Meirov. "The consistency, sometimes I struggle with it. I’ll say this: the Bills lead the NFL in offensive holds, and I’ll leave it at that. That would be hard for me to understand — how a team coming into the game leading, and that’s how they play, didn’t have one yesterday. So that’s hard for me to understand.”
Vrabel was also critical of the pass interference call on Marcus Jones while in coverage against Bills wide receiver Khalil Shakir.
"Whether we think it’s PI, that’s their call."
The Patriots still hold a one-game lead over the Bills. As long as they win out, they will win the AFC East. Their next test will be in Baltimore in Week 16 against the Ravens.
