Patriots Legend Julian Edelman Reveals Bold Plan That Rattled Josh Allen
Share this article:
The Buffalo Bills — the last undefeated team in the 2025 NFL season — finally hit a wall. Week 5 brought a wake-up call as Josh Allen and the Bills fell to a sharper, tougher, and more disciplined New England Patriots squad.
Let’s be clear: Allen didn’t collapse. He still made big plays — because that’s who he is.
But this wasn’t peak Allen. He missed some throws, forced others, and that red-zone interception? That one stung. Especially with how New England’s defense had him locked down from the opening drive.
They stopped the run, forced Buffalo to be one-dimensional, and played physical coverage. That formula was enough to end Buffalo’s perfect run.
On the “Dudes on Dudes” podcast, Patriots legends Rob Gronkowski and Julian Edelman broke it down:
“Stop the run, make them one-dimensional, and you’ll see more hero ball from Josh. He’s Superman — but there’s kryptonite.”
And they were right. Allen was kept in the pocket, spied all game long, and when things broke down, the supporting cast couldn’t pick up the slack.
Still — it’s just one loss. The Bills are 4-1, sitting comfortably atop the AFC East. Josh Allen remains the MVP frontrunner (+140), ahead of Patrick Mahomes (+450) and Baker Mayfield (+800).
Buffalo fans won’t panic over one October slip. They’ve seen tougher moments. But they also know what matters most comes in January — when everything counts.
For all of Allen’s stats and near-MVP seasons, Buffalo’s story isn’t complete until they deliver when it matters most. Regular season success is expected; postseason success is demanded.
Week 5 didn’t shake that belief — it just reminded us that even Superman can have an off night.
