A 21-point deficit at halftime didn’t deter Josh Allen from leading the Bills to a 35-31 comeback win over the New England Patriots on Sunday.

In his postgame press conference, Patriots head coach Mike Vrabel was practically at a loss for words about what had just transpired. In the end, he simply gave credit to a generational quarterback for, you know, being a generational quarterback.

Patriots coach Mike Vrabel is hard on his players, but after every game, win or lose, he greets them alone in the tunnel and thanks them.

That’s how Mike Vrabel has described Sunday’s showdown with the Bills, a perfectly timed visit as the Patriots try to end Buffalo’s five-year reign as AFC East champions. If the Pats win, they clinch the division. It’s that simple.

FOXBOROUGH — Patriots coach Mike Vrabel opened his Wednesday press conference with a note of support for the family of Patriots Hall of Famer Kevin Faulk.

Vrabel was referring to a pair of Patriots starters currently on injured reserve, left tackle Will Campbell and defensive lineman Milton Williams. The former suffered a reported MCL sprain in Week 12 against the Cincinnati Bengals, with the latter hurting his ankle the previous game against the New York Jets.

Pittsburgh Steelers' longtime head coach Mike Tomlin unfortunately heard less than desirable chants during Week 13’s loss at home to the Buffalo Bills.

Any of these seven candidates could be considered worthy of the award, but the Patriots' and 49ers' coaches have the strongest case.
