The Buffalo Bills are on fire, sitting 3-0 and absolutely owning first place in the AFC East under new head coach Joe Brady. But as they gear up for Week 4, the New England Patriots they’re about to face are a complete flip from the conference champions they were last season.
Brady’s Bills Are Absolutely Rolling (And Allen’s Leading The Charge)
Let’s talk about the Bills for a second. New head coach Joe Brady has these guys playing like beasts. They’re 3-0, and honestly, having a quarterback like Josh Allen just makes everything easier. He totally lowers the learning curve for any new coach, right? For the first two games this season, Buffalo’s offense was a full-on juggernaut. Then in Week 3, the defense stepped up huge, really complementing the offense when it mattered most. Brady’s keeping it real, too, always reminding everyone it’s a week-to-week league, you’re 1-0 every game. What worked before might not carry over. Still, the man is 3-0, and Josh Allen is already back in the conversation for MVP. You love to see it.
What Happened To Drake Maye & The Patriots?
Now, across the field, the Patriots are in a seriously different spot. These teams are way different from their 2025 versions, when they actually traded wins, and the road team came out victorious each time. But that was then. The Patriots have dug themselves a 1-2 hole, and it could be a real challenge to escape. The most alarming thing? Quarterback Drake Maye, who was legitimately in the MVP running during the 2025 NFL season, is just not playing like that guy anymore. This team, last year’s AFC representatives in the Super Bowl, looks absolutely nothing like those conference champions. They are now staring down a top-seeded regular-season schedule, and nobody expects them to catch anyone by surprise anymore.
So, here we are in Week 4. The Bills are flying high, looking to take a firm, early season hold on the division. Can they keep that momentum rolling? Or will the Patriots somehow find a way to recapture some of that 2025 magic and good fortune, pulling themselves out of this 1-2 mess? It’s going to be a huge game.
