Hours before Monday night's down between the Buffalo Bills and New England Patriots, those at the arena were posting pictures and recordings of the climate. It wasn't wonderful.

The hostile players — especially Patriots youngster quarterback Mac Jones, who was brought up in Jacksonville — needed to wince. The Bills' initial opening shot, with the breeze at their backs, went right into the stands. On New England's first belonging, a pitch straight back to running back Damien Harris was bungled, and afterward a dropkick seemed as though a shot put falling off the leg of Patriots punter Jake Bailey.

Bailey's subsequent dropkick went 15 yards straight into the Patriots sideline. It was an insane climate night.
