Overview

• Patriots defensive tackle Cory Durden was fined $5,722 for roughing Josh Allen with contact to the head and neck in the fourth quarter.
• Defensive tackle Joshua Farmer was fined $5,591 for unnecessary roughness on a late hit against Bills running back James Cook on the next snap.
• The consecutive penalties cost New England 30 yards and helped set up a Buffalo drive that tied the game before the Patriots won 23-20.
• The NFL reviewed Allen’s post-play expletives toward a Patriots defender and determined the conduct did not meet its taunting threshold, resulting in no fine.
• Fine proceeds will be directed to the Professional Athletes Foundation and the NFL Foundation, and coach Mike Vrabel said a late whistle factored into Farmer’s hit.
