FINAL: Patriots 29, Bills 25 - Mac Jones gets comeback win with Gesicki TD with 12 seconds left

Well, how about that?!

Mac Jones finally has his moment, comeback, signature win with a day he completed 25 of 30 passes for 272 yards and two touchdowns, including the game-winner to Mike Gesicki with 12 seconds left.

After the Bills took their first lead, the Patriots drove 75 yards in eight plays — aided by a picked-up illegal man downfield flag on David Andrews that was very iffy.

Patriots had a new-look offensive line and a much quicker attack that used a lot of motion. It was all largely effective. Wasn't perfect, but a good start. 

Kendrick Bourne was nearly the goat with a late fumble. 

Pop Douglas also came of age with 4 catches for 54 yards.
