Drake Maye just flipped the script for the Patriots today, absolutely tearing it up in Buffalo for a shocking 29-26 upset over the Bills. After what’s been an ugly start to this season, Maye went into that hostile environment and straight-up played *very* well.
Maye’s Redemption Arc Kicks Off in Buffalo
Man, you gotta give it to Maye. He completed 22 of 37 passes for a solid 269 yards, dropped three touchdowns, and even made a few big plays running the ball. Yeah, he threw an interception, but seriously, it was a total fluke: bounced right out of Romeo Doubs’ hands before the Bills snagged it on a lucky deflection. That’s not on the kid. He was dialed in.
Clutch Play Seals It, But Allen’s Spark Was Missing
The real highlight? Patriots wide receiver Efton Chism with a sensational diving catch in the end zone for the game-winning touchdown with just 1:50 left in the fourth quarter. Absolutely wild finish!
On the other side, Josh Allen scored another rushing touchdown, his seventh this season, which, big ups to him, makes him the all-time leading touchdown scorer in Bills franchise history, blowing past Andre Reed and Thurman Thomas. That’s huge for the legacy. But honestly, aside from that one play, he didn’t do much with his legs, and his arm wasn’t making those huge plays Bills fans usually expect. Kinda quiet for him.
So yeah, the Bills are still sitting pretty in first place in the AFC East at 3-1. But don’t sleep on the Patriots. Now at 2-2, they showed today that they absolutely have plenty of fight left in them. This team isn’t going down without a battle.
