Overall, Jones was just 2-of-3 passing for 19 yards, while the Patriots ran for 222 yards on 46 carries.

The three passing attempts are the fewest in Patriots history, while the two completions match their fewest, according to ESPN Stats & Information research.

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.
