Drake Maye completed 22 of 37 passes for 269 yards and three touchdowns as New England overcame two turnovers and Buffalo’s 3-1 start.
On Sunday, October 4, 2026, the New England Patriots defeated the Buffalo Bills 29-26 at New Highmark Stadium in Orchard Park, New York, handing Buffalo their first loss of the season.
Quarterback Drake Maye rebounded from three weeks of turnover-prone play to lead the Patriots' offense to season highs with 405 yards and three touchdowns.
Wide receiver Efton Chism III secured victory with a one-handed, 23-yard touchdown catch with 1:50 remaining, while Romeo Doubs caught two touchdown passes.
Safety Craig Woodson sealed the win with an interception of Josh Allen in the final minute, as the Patriots' defense held Buffalo to 340 total yards despite key injuries.
New England returns home next week to host the Las Vegas Raiders, while Buffalo travels to the Los Angeles Rams on Monday night following their first loss at New Highmark Stadium.
