Jake Bailey unsuitable for wind conditions in Buffalo – CBS Boston

BOSTON (CBS) – Jake Bailey is one of the NFL’s best boxers. But even he couldn’t do much against the strong winds Mother Nature threw at the Patriots and Bills during their Monday Night Football game in Buffalo.

Bailey is known for his explosive kicks, but with strong winds hitting him in the first inning, Pro Bowler’s big foot was unable to do much in the second half of the match.

After New England’s second treble, Bailey hit a kick too high on a winter night in Orchard Park. The wind blew it back, as the ball went out of bounds at 40 in New England after just 15 yards.

It can be confirmed: it is windy.
