"Drake Maye and company needed to make a statement on the road against one of the league's best teams, and wound up knocking off the league's last unbeaten team in their building. Maye also led his first game-winning drive in moving the Patriots into field-goal range late in the fourth quarter. Stefon Diggs (10 catches, 146 yards) was phenomenal in his first trip to Buffalo since leaving the Bills."
"The running back's night got off to a bad start with another fumble in the first quarter - his third lost fumble in two games - and the Patriots' running back room took a hit later on when Antonio Gibson suffered an apparent knee injury. But Vrabel continues to stick with Stevenson, and the running back delivered both of the Patriots' touchdowns. Yes, Stevenson's ball-security issues continue to be a problem, but kudos to the Patriots' coach for sticking with him."
"It was fitting that the biggest win of the second-year quarterback's career came against the signal caller everyone compares him to, in Josh Allen. The Patriots have their guy. They have their franchise quarterback. Maye (22 of 30, 270 yards) was outstanding again, especially in the third quarter (7 of 8, 94 yards). Maye somehow avoided a sack on the Patriots' game-winning drive and found Digg"
New England beat Buffalo 23-20 on Sunday Night Football, with Drake Maye orchestrating the game-winning drive to put the Patriots into field-goal range late. Maye completed 22 of 30 passes for 270 yards and excelled in the third quarter, avoiding a sack on the decisive drive. Stefon Diggs caught 10 passes for 146 yards in his first Buffalo appearance since leaving the Bills. Rhamondre Stevenson overcame an early fumble to score both Patriots touchdowns despite ongoing ball-security concerns. Coach Mike Vrabel maintained faith in Stevenson and the team showed playoff-caliber potential amid struggles by other AFC contenders.
