The Buffalo Bills opened up the game against the New England Patriots with a 13-play, 66 yard drive all the way down to the red zone. The Patriots didn’t have an answer to the small gains by the Bills, until Buffalo quarterback Tyrod Taylor threw the absolute worst interception you’ll ever seen in the red zone.

New Patriots defensive lineman Eric Lee dropped into coverage and Taylor must not have seen him as Taylor lobbed the ball right into Lee’s chest. It wouldn’t have been a completed pass, anyways, since it was behind the receiver, but it went right to Lee like he were the intended receiver.
Defensive tackle Alan Branch did a nice job generating the pressure on Taylor and forcing the errant throw.
