"The National Football League is a week-to-week league, and oftentimes, you don't know how a game is going to shake out. Not very many experts had the New England Patriots beating the Bills in Buffalo on Sunday night on their bingo cards, but the biggest win of the Drake Maye era proved the Patriots are heading on an upswing. Talk of the Patriots making the playoffs has resurfaced among fans and media alike."
"But Vrabel and the Patriots know this is a process, and the Bills' game has to be put to bed. The focus needs to shift to the Saints, who are riding high themselves after a win over the New York Giants that gave Kellen Moore his first victory as a head coach. On paper, New Orleans is a bad team that is clearly in tank mode. But don't tell that to Vrabel."
The NFL operates week-to-week, producing unpredictable outcomes and sudden momentum shifts. The New England Patriots upset the Buffalo Bills, renewing playoff conversation and signaling an upswing under Drake Maye. The Patriots face three one-win opponents next — the Saints, Browns, and Titans — making immediate focus essential. Head coach Mike Vrabel energized the team after the win and emphasized avoiding a letdown in New Orleans. The Saints can be dangerous at the Superdome despite a poor record. Continued quarterback growth and consistent execution against lesser teams remain crucial for sustained success and a postseason push.
