The three pass attempts were the fewest by any team since the Bills attempted just two in Week 3 of the 1974 season (vs. the New York Jets).
The Patriots' fewest pass attempts was previously five, which came in the 1982 Snow Plow Game, a 3-0 victory against the Miami Dolphins in Foxborough, Massachusetts, that was played in a driving snowstorm and was scoreless in the fourth quarter when stadium worker Mark Henderson drove a tractor on to the field to clear a spot for the only field goal of the game.Jones threw just one pass in the first half -- when the Patriots led 11-7 at the break -- and completed it for 12 yards.The only other games in Patriots history in which they completed just two passes came in December 1982 and November 1969 -- both against the Dolphins.The Patriots' one passing first down tied for the second fewest in franchise history, and it was their fewest since Dec.
