Cam Newton did everything he possibly could to win in Week 8, except for closing the game out.
He was given no one to work with, resulting in a career game for undrafted receiver Jakobi Meyers (6 catches, 58 yards). Damien Harris (102 yard, 1 TD) was the only other productive player in the heartbreaking 24-21 loss to the Buffalo Bills. Newton finished the game with 174 passing yards, 54 rushing yards and a rushing touchdown.
Newton drove the Patriots down the field on the final drive, with the potential to tie the game with a field goal or win it with a touchdown. Instead, he fumbled with 36 seconds left and that was it.

The Patriots are now 2-5, with very little hope to make the playoffs.
