ORCHARD PARK, N.Y. — Patriots head coach Jerod Mayo showed some aggression Sunday against the Bills.
Mayo called a fake punt on fourth-and-2 from deep within the Patriots’ territory. Long snapper Joe Cardona direct snapped to safety/punt protector Dell Pettus, who rushed up the middle for 2 yards and a first down.
Helluva call from Jerod Mayo on the fake punt to pick up the first down on fourth-and-2.

The Patriots got out to an unexpected 14-0 lead over the Bills and seemingly wanted to keep their foot on the gas pedal.
Oddly enough, the Patriots did not go for it on fourth-and-1 from their own 34-yard line later in the drive or on fourth-and-1 from the 36-yard line on the previous drive.
