Overview
- The Bills erased a 21-0 deficit to win 35-31 at Gillette Stadium, the largest comeback by a visiting team there and a loss that delayed New England’s chance to clinch the AFC East.
- Allen threw for 193 yards and three touchdowns after halftime as Buffalo scored on five straight possessions, with returner Ray Davis setting up short fields on multiple long kick returns.
- Patriots rookie TreVeyon Henderson rushed for 148 yards with two 50-plus-yard scores, but Drake Maye managed 155 passing yards with an interception and three sacks as the offense stalled late.
- The result moved Buffalo to 10-4 and kept the division race alive, dropped New England to 11-3, and coincided with DraftKings shortening Matthew Stafford’s MVP odds as Maye’s number fell.
- Patriots players called the defeat a wake-up call and emphasized 60-minute focus, while coach Mike Vrabel questioned officiating consistency, including pass interference calls and a lack of holding flags on Buffalo.
