There have been two consecutive NFL shut outs at Gillette Stadium this season. But the Patriots were on the wrong end of the 16-0 score Sunday.

They fell to the Buffalo Bills by that score. It was the team's first loss of the season and their first shut out at home in more than two decades.

ESPNBoston.com football writer Mike Reiss joined Morning Edition to dissect the game.

This segment aired on October 3, 2016.
