Bills vs. Patriots on Sunday Night Sets Stage for Josh Allen–Drake Maye Showcase

Buffalo hosts an improving New England in a primetime gauge of Maye’s rise against the AFC East standard.

Overview

  • Buffalo (4-0) welcomes New England (2-2) to Highmark Stadium for Week 5 Sunday Night Football, with the reigning MVP Josh Allen leading a team riding a 14-game regular-season home winning streak.
  • Patriots QB Drake Maye enters leading the NFL in completion rate (about 74%) with 988 yards, seven TDs and two interceptions through four games, drawing public praise from Allen and Bills coach Sean McDermott.
  • The Bills own the league’s stingiest pass defense (roughly 126 passing yards allowed per game) but have struggled against the run, while their offense remains among the highest scoring with a productive ground game.
  • Buffalo listed defensive standouts Ed Oliver and Matt Milano as questionable on the Friday injury report, leaving key front-seven availability uncertain for the matchup.
  • Betting lines have narrowed toward New England as some analysts predict a potential upset, and the night features Stefon Diggs’ first game in Buffalo since his 2023 trade.
