Buffalo Bills linebacker Terrel Bernard praised the Patriots following the Bills’ 24-21 win on Sunday.
Bernard had his best game of the season in the AFC East divisional matchup racking up 12 tackles. It was his fourth game with at least 10 tackles this year.
Many thought the Patriots would get blown out in the game, but they put up a better fight than expected.
“That’s a good team. I said it earlier. They’ve been in a bunch of games, pretty much every game all season that they’ve played,” Bernard told reporters after the game. “They got a good quarterback, good offensive line, good running backs and two tight ends that are really effective in the passing game as well.”
The Week 16 performance could be viewed as a building block for the Patriots. They went on the road and competed against arguably the best team in football.
It was one of the more competitive games of the season for the Patriots, and they’ll have a chance to get revenge on the Bills when the two teams collide once more in Foxborough in the season finale.
