Summary

Drake Maye delivered a crucial performance, throwing three touchdown passes to guide the New England Patriots to a 29-26 upset victory over the Buffalo Bills on Sunday. The game-winning score came via a remarkable one-handed catch by Efton Chism in the end zone with under two minutes remaining. This victory marks a significant turning point for the Patriots, whose offense achieved season highs in both total yards with 405 and 26 first downs.
Despite Maye's continued struggles with turnovers, including an interception and a lost fumble in the first half, he rallied in the critical final minutes. His 23-yard touchdown pass to Chism, followed by a successful two-point conversion, put the Patriots ahead. The Bills, who dropped to 3-1, saw their comeback attempt thwarted by an interception from Josh Allen in the closing moments.
Allen also contributed with a touchdown pass and a rushing touchdown, breaking a team record for total touchdowns from scrimmage. However, the Bills' offense, limited to season lows in total yards and first downs, struggled to maintain its early-season momentum. Both teams faced injuries, with key players sidelined for New England and Buffalo.
