Patriots Secure Upset Victory Over Bills With Maye, Diggs Leading Effort

The New England Patriots secured a significant upset victory over the previously undefeated Buffalo Bills, marking a key moment for the team and its second-year quarterback, Drake Maye. Maye delivered a standout performance, particularly in the second half, demonstrating poise and precision that helped lead the Patriots to a 23-20 win, including a late-game drive culminating in a game-winning field goal. Stefon Diggs, in his return to Buffalo as a Patriot, contributed heavily with 10 receptions for 146 yards, showcasing his continued elite receiving ability and providing strong support to Maye. The Patriots' defense and special teams also played crucial roles in securing the victory, signaling their potential as legitimate playoff contenders. This win marked the Patriots' first back-to-back victories in three years and put them within one game of the Bills in the AFC East standings. The collaboration between Maye and Diggs, along with the strategic coaching by Mike Vrabel, suggests the Patriots could build momentum in upcoming games against the Saints and Titans.
