Overview for New England Patriots @ Buffalo Bills
The New England Patriots go to Buffalo this weekend for a Sunday evening football force with the undefeated bills.
After preceding the Miami Dolphins 33-27 in week 2, the Patriots are fortunate to open 2-0 in AFC East Play for the first time since 2019.
The game also carries an additional story, because it will be the last appearance of the regular season of New England at the Highmark stadium before Buffalo enters its new place next year.
This contest begins a difficult section of three games for New England, with trips to New Orleans and Tennessee to follow. This is the first round of the patriots of three consecutive lights outside since 2020.
The rivalry itself is one of the oldest in AFC East, dating back to 1960. The patriots have an advantage of 79-51-1 of all time, including a record of 37-26-1 in Buffalo.
They also prospered in matches during prime time against the Bills, going 9-2 in total and a perfect 4-0 Sunday evening football. Last season, the games divided their meetings, Buffalo winning a 24-21 victory in December before New England responded two weeks later with a 23-16 victory to close the year.
Statistically, Buffalo seemed dominant in 2025, with an attack on second place in the league at 404 yards per game and on average 33.3 points per exit.
The patriots, on the other hand, are seated at 2-2, but rank in the top ten by scoring 25.5 points per game and having the second best defense of Rush in the NFL, granting only 77.5 yards on the ground per competition. Sunday’s confrontation will oppose this defense against the ground attack of the Bills League, which on average 163.5 yards.
Several patriots enter the game to pursue personal milestones. Hunter Henry, at the end, is less than 79 yards after fourth place among the leaders of all time of the franchise in his post.
The Ballon Rhamondre Stevenson ball carrier needs 59 yards on the ground to climb the seventh on the team list of the team, while Antonio Gibson could join an exclusive group of patriots with several touchdown hit in a single season.
The most star receiver in New England, Stefon Diggs, is looking to record consecutive games of 100 yards for the first time since 2023, when he was still a member of the Bills.
The Recruit Drake Maye Recruit Quarterrier, on the other hand, made three consecutive games by filling at least 75% of its passes with two affected-a sequence that could match the Tom Brady record in 2007 if it was extended this weekend.
The Patriots’ offensive has found the pace in recent weeks, exceeding 40 points against Caroline last Sunday, but the combination of balance, depth and defensive discipline of Buffalo makes it one of the most severe tests of their calendar.
