Phil Perry, Tom E. 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.

Well, Sunday night gave us exactly that kind of magic as Drake Maye and the New England Patriots pulled off one of the most stunning upsets of the season, knocking off the Bills 23-20... This wasn’t just any win for the Patriots. This was the kind of statement victory that changes the trajectory of a season and makes you believe in the impossible again. Let’s be honest – nobody expected much from a rookie quarterback making his first primetime start against the reigning MVP.

But Maye didn’t just show up; he showed out. The 23-year-old quarterback completed 22 of 30 passes for 273 yards, displaying the kind of poise and playmaking ability that makes scouts salivate. The moment that’ll be replayed on highlight reels for weeks? That game-winning drive with 2:12 left on the clock. With Defensive Lineman DaQuan Jones literally dragging him to the ground, Maye somehow managed to find Stefon Diggs for a crucial 12-yard gain. It was the kind of play that separates franchise quarterbacks from mere mortals.

“It’s storybook,” Maye said about Diggs’ performance. “Coming back here, first game since the trade, primetime – you could see it all week. He just loves football.” Speaking of storybook moments, how about Diggs returning to Buffalo and absolutely torching his former team? The veteran receiver caught 10 passes for 146 yards, becoming the first Patriots receiver to post consecutive 100-yard games since Julian Edelman back in 2019. The 2-2 Patriots stunned the 4-0 Bills in a big-time primetime win on Sunday night in large part because of New England quarterback Drake Maye's clearly-budding connection with veteran wide receiver Stefon Diggs.

For Diggs, who didn't have a touchdown but notched 146 receiving yards, the win was especially sweet, seeing as he was traded from the Bills in the 2024 offseason. And for Maye, who was 22-30 with 273 passing yards, the win was somewhat of a statement—a chance to showcase his talent when up against one of, if not the best, quarterbacks in the... Perhaps the best example of the Maye and Diggs connection on Sunday came toward the end of the game, when the Pats were driving down the field with roughly two minutes left on the... Maye was under pressure as soon as the ball was snapped, but, despite the defender literally hanging off of him, still managed to fire off a pass to Diggs, who somehow caught it for... .@DrakeMaye2 WHAT.

PLAY.📺 NBC pic.twitter.com/BeMtrCb3Y2 The Pats would continue their march down the field for a go-ahead field goal, bringing the score to 23-20. And though the Bills got the ball back, they didn't have enough time to make anything happen. So with that, New England dethroned the last undefeated team standing. The New England Patriots have beaten the Buffalo Bills 23-20 on the road, knocking off the final remaining undefeated team in the NFL this season. Rookie Patriots kicker Andy Borregales hit a 52-yard field goal in the final seconds to complete the upset victory.

Drake Maye dazzled for the visitors, throwing for 273 yards and making several highlight-reel plays. Stefon Diggs caught 10 passes for 146 yards in his first game at Highmark Stadium since leaving the Bills after the 2023 season, while Rhamondre Stevenson rushed for two touchdowns. Josh Allen threw for 253 yards and a pair of touchdowns in the loss, but committed two turnovers as Buffalo lost the turnover battle 3-1. The Patriots improved to 3-2 and pulled within one game of the AFC East-leading Bills, who fell to 4-1.

The New England Patriots made sure every team in the NFL had a loss this season, as they pulled off the upset against the Buffalo Bills in a 23-20 win on the road on... After the Denver Broncos defeated the Philadelphia Eagles earlier on Sunday, the Bills were the only remaining undefeated team in the NFL. But Drake Maye and the Patriots came into their AFC East battle with confidence and the right answer for Josh Allen on the defensive side of the ball. It wasn’t the best start for either team in terms of execution as we had back-to-back fumbles in the first quarter after Allen and Dawson Knox’s handoff fell to the turf.

But the Patriots gave it right back as Rhamondre Stevenson, who has had trouble fumbling early this season, was stripped after catching a pass from Maye.
