On October 6th, 2025, the New England Patriots pulled off a stunning upset over the Buffalo Bills, winning 23-20 on a last-second 52-yard field goal by Andy Borregales. The Patriots, who entered the game with a 3-2 record, received two rushing touchdowns from running back Rhamondre Stevenson to take down the previously unbeaten Bills.
The game was a close affair throughout, with the Patriots leading 6-3 at halftime. The Bills took a 10-6 lead early in the second half, but the Patriots responded with two Stevenson touchdown runs to go up 20-10 in the fourth quarter. However, the Bills fought back, tying the game at 20-20 with just over two minutes remaining. That set the stage for Borregales' game-winning kick, which gave the Patriots the victory and ended Buffalo's 14-game home winning streak.
Stefon Diggs, who was traded from the Bills to the Houston Texans before the 2024 season, had a big game in his return to Buffalo, catching 10 passes for 146 yards. Patriots quarterback Drake Maye also had a strong performance, completing 22 of 30 passes for 273 yards. The loss was a tough one for the Bills, who had just one turnover in their first four games but committed three in this defeat.
