Host John Middlekauff breaks down both the marquee matchup (Drake Maye vs. Josh Allen), coaching decisions, and ripple effects for both teams.

The show then pivots to rapid analysis and candid takes on the most compelling stories around the NFL and college football, including the wild Broncos-Eagles game, the Sam Darnold vs. Baker Mayfield shootout, and significant happenings with college stars like Arch Manning and James Franklin. The tone, as always, is opinionated, conversational, and loaded with vivid, colorful metaphors. "Drake May, I mean, had the best game and most important game of his young career and he was awesome." (07:39) “His instincts for playing the position are pretty special… Diggs, his motivation coming into this game against the Bills, clearly, I mean, he was fired up for this bad boy and he dominated.” (09:55) "Their offense is a well-oiled machine, but it's not exactly like they got Jerry Rice or Ladanian Tomlinson or Travis Kelce in his prime run around out there."

Curran and Ted Johnson share instant reaction to the Patriots’ gutsy 23-20 win over the Bills In his 17th career start, ironically the exact mark of a full season, the Patriots quarterback earned his first signature win. Maye's five career wins prior to the 23-20 victory against the Buffalo Bills at Highmark Stadium on Sunday night pale in comparison to his first primetime start.

"I would say it's an even bigger moment for Drake Maye," Patriots insider Phil Perry said on Patriots Postgame Live following the Week 5 verdict. "You get the ball with two minutes left. It's a tie game against a team that everybody thinks is going to the Super Bowl and you make two special throws, in my opinion." Maye and the offense took the field with 2:12 remaining in a tie game and proceeded to lead a crunch-time scoring drive, as the Patriots gained 37 yards on seven plays before rookie Andy...

Curran and Ted Johnson share instant reaction to the Patriots’ gutsy 23-20 win over the Bills The New England Patriots walked into Highmark Stadium as heavy underdogs against the undefeated Buffalo Bills, but emerged with a stunning 23-20 upset win on NBC’s Sunday Night Football. This game had it all, from a low-scoring, fumble-filled first half to Drake Maye and Josh Allen trading touchdown drives in a high-scoring second half. But the Patriots got the last laugh. After Matt Prater’s game-tying field goal with 2:17 remaining, Drake Maye led New England's offense 37 yards in seven plays to set up Andy Borregales' 52-yard, go-ahead field goal with 15 seconds remaining.

If you expected the Patriots to be a pushover in Buffalo, Sunday night got wild. Drake Maye, in just his second year, looked every bit the franchise quarterback the team hopes he’ll be. That winning drive late in the fourth? That’s the kind of moment that can shift an entire narrative—not just for Maye, but for the future of the Pats. Maye finished 22-of-30 for 273 yards and only missed one pass in the second half. Big-time stuff, especially in front of a hostile Bills crowd, and in a game that saw him outduel Josh Allen late.

That’s how you announce yourself in prime time. Stefon Diggs didn’t just show up—he put in his best game since 2022. Ten catches for 146 yards against the team that let him go, including multiple clutch grabs on third down. That’s great news if you like drama, and even better if you’re backing Diggs on props or fantasy. He was the clear go-to for Maye, moving the chains and popping the lid off Buffalo’s secondary. The narrative coming in was all Bills, but this win turns up the heat on Buffalo.

They had a chance to stay perfect and couldn’t close it out at home—even with Josh Allen playing catch-up and the defence sniffing out a Stevenson fumble early. Allen put up 253 yards, two touchdowns, and another 53 yards on the ground, but he kept the Pats alive with mistakes in the clutch. The Patriots, on the other hand, get a statement road win. They’re back in business at 3-2, and you can bet those markets for division and playoff odds just got interesting. The Saints are next, and you’ve got to like New England’s momentum there. As for Buffalo, a Monday night bounce-back against the Falcons feels must-win now.

The New England Patriots entered their Week 5 Sunday Night Football matchup against the Buffalo as significant underdogs. Not only were the Patriots on the road, but they were also going up against the undefeated Bills and the reigning NFL MVP, Josh Allen. None of that fazed Drake Maye, however, who led New England to a shocking 23-20 upset in his first career primetime game. The 23-year-old quarterback delivered one of the best performances of his young career thus far, completing 22 of 30 passes for 273 yards and a 101.1 passer rating. He also added 12 yards on three rushing attempts. The big key for Maye was not making any major mistakes.

He didn’t turn the ball over and played a clean game, hitting 73.3% of his passes and keeping the chains moving. Meanwhile, Allen turned the ball over twice via an interception and a fumble. He played well otherwise with over 300 total yards (passing and rushing) and two touchdown passes, but it wasn’t enough.
