The New England Patriots defeated the Buffalo Bills 29-26 on Sunday at Highmark Stadium, handing Buffalo its first loss of the season. Quarterback Drake Maye threw three touchdown passes, including a 23-yard strike to Efton Chism with 1:50 remaining, and connected with Rhamondre Stevenson for the go-ahead two-point conversion.
Maye finished 22-of-37 for 269 yards despite an interception and a lost fumble in the first half. Josh Allen completed 23-of-33 passes for 253 yards with one passing and one rushing touchdown, but threw a critical interception to safety Craig Woodson in the final minute.
“Just no reason for that throw.”
Allen became the Bills' all-time leader in touchdowns from scrimmage with his 88th, surpassing every receiver and running back in franchise history. The Bills still lead the AFC East at 3-1, while New England evened its record at 2-2.
Former ESPN analyst Ryan Clark criticized Allen's decision-making on the game-sealing interception, noting similar risky throws in earlier weeks went unpunished. Woodson's pick was his second career interception and first in the regular season.
