Josh Allen led an incredible comeback to put the Buffalo Bills in front after being down 21-0 against New England on Sunday. Former Patriots wide receiver Julian Edelman was not pleased with the team's defense after it gave up the massive lead.

"Make a play defense." Edelman tweeted.

Make a play defense.

Drake Maye rushed in for an 8-yard touchdown less than five minutes into the game. He followed it up with a 7-yard run to the end zone in the dying moments of the first half.

Things got worse for the Bills when TreVeyon Henderson rushed the right guard for 52 yards to make it 21-0 for New England. Allen started the comeback with a pass to James Cook for a 5-yard touchdown. However, the Patriots scored a field goal to lead 24-7 at halftime.

Allen came all guns blazing in the second half. He connected with Dawson Knox for his second touchdown. Cook made his second trip to the end zone to reduce the deficit to just three points eight minutes later. Allen completed the comeback minutes into the fourth quarter, throwing a 14-yard touchdown pass to Knox.

However, the celebration was short-lived as Henderson sprinted to the end zone for a 65-yard touchdown just a few seconds later.

Cook spoiled the party for New England, rushing in for an 11-yard touchdown with seven minutes remaining. The Bills needed to win the game to save their division title streak, and the reigning NFL MVP understood the task well.

Josh Allen on facing Drake Maye

Buffalo Bills quarterback Josh Allen was full of praise for Drake Maye ahead of the Week 15 game. The Patriots signal-caller is among the frontrunners for the NFL MVP award alongside Allen and Matthew Stafford.

“He’s playing like a veteran quarterback, he’s seeing things extremely well, he plays at a great pace, looks like things have slowed down for him," Allen said to reporters on Thursday.

"We hate to see that. But, I’m happy for how well he’s playing because he’s a great human being on top of being a football player. We just need to figure out how to secure a victory on Sunday.”

Maye also revealed that he is a huge fan of Allen off the field. He said the Bills superstar is fun to watch and called him one of the best players in the league.
