Patriots End Bills 14-Game Home Win Streak with 23-20 Victory

In a stunning upset, the New England Patriots defeated the Buffalo Bills 23-20 at Highmark Stadium, ending the Bills' 14-game home winning streak. Rookie quarterback Drake Maye led a crucial late drive, culminating in a 52-yard field goal by Andy Borregales with 15 seconds remaining. Maye, starting his first primetime NFL game, completed 22 of 30 passes for 273 yards without any turnovers, demonstrating poise despite being sacked four times. Receiver Stefon Diggs, returning to Buffalo for the first time since being traded to the Texans and joining New England, had a standout performance with 10 catches for 146 yards, playing a key role in the victory. Patriots coach Mike Vrabel praised both Maye's leadership and Diggs' emotional return, highlighting the team's improved performance as they achieved their first back-to-back wins since 2022. This win marks a significant step for the Patriots, who are seeking to regain their competitive form in the post-Tom Brady era, now holding a 3-2 record while the Bills face their first loss of the season.
