Drake Maye bounces back as Patriots upset Bills

New England signal-caller Drake Maye rebounded from a difficult beginning to the campaign by leading his squad to a 29-26 road victory against Buffalo. Maye connected on 22 of 37 pass attempts for 269 yards and three scores, adding several rushing gains while also absorbing one interception that ricocheted off teammate Romeo Doubs.

Efton Chism secured the game-winning points via a remarkable diving reception in the end zone with under two minutes left on the clock. For the hosts, Josh Allen picked up his seventh rushing touchdown of the year to surpass Andre Reed and Thurman Thomas as the franchise leader in total scores, though he was otherwise contained.

Following this outcome, the division-leading Bills drop to a 3-1 record, while New England improves to 2-2. Despite the tough road environment, the visiting team demonstrated considerable resilience to secure the narrow triumph.
