Bills Rally From 21-Point Deficit to Beat Patriots 35-31, Stay Alive in AFC East Race

On a snowy Sunday at Gillette Stadium, Foxborough, Massachusetts, the Buffalo Bills defeated the New England Patriots 35-31, keeping their AFC East hopes alive.
Special-Teams miscues and the absence of Robert Spillane and Milton Williams allowed the Bills to score five straight touchdowns after halftime, aided by Ray Davis's return and 273 yards allowed in the second half.
Josh Allen and Dawson Knox combined on critical scoring plays as Allen finished 19-for-28 for 193 yards with two touchdowns caught by Knox, while James Cook rushed for 107 yards and two touchdowns.
A missed clinch leaves the AFC East unresolved with three regular-season games left, as New England's loss snapped their 10-game win streak and postponed their 11-straight regular-season wins and AFC East title.
Next up, the New England Patriots travel to Baltimore in Week 16 to face the 7-7 Ravens, listed as a 2.5-point underdog with a +114 moneyline, while Buffalo’s 23-4 December and January record since 2020 bolsters their closing prospects.
