The Bills showed yet again that when they are down, that doesn’t mean they are out.
Buffalo left Foxboro on Sunday with another win to improve to 10-4, staging another exciting come-from-behind thriller to beat the Patriots 35-31.
Down 21 points early in the game, Buffalo came stampeding into the winner’s circle.

The win over New England splits the season series and keeps the division crown and playoff seeding possibilities alive for Buffalo, and QB Josh Allen’s play keeps the reigning Most Valuable Player conversation for this year’s MVP honors.
“We don’t blink,” he said to a CBS sideline reporter after the game. TE Dawson Knox said the same about the team, “No one in here blinks.”
Allen elaborated further on the topic during his postgame press conference.
“We stayed the course,” the QB said. “Stayed together, didn’t ride the highs, didn’t ride the lows. Just told ourselves at halftime, you know, we really felt like we were hurting ourselves in the first half. Going out there and just trying to execute each and every given play.”
The Drake Maye-led Pats team came out swinging offensively, putting up a 21-point three-touchdown lead early and racking up 31 total points to try and get an AFC East-clinching win against the longtime kings of the division.
While the two offenses traded blows with three lead changes in the fourth quarter, Allen and the Bills stormed back with five straight touchdown drives to take a 35-31 lead.
With minutes left to play, the Buffalo defense came out and said ‘Maye-be-not’, getting the stop on the New England QB and their offense to give Buffalo the Ball with under two minutes on the clock. On the ensuing possession, Ty Johson got the game-sealing first down on a running play to run out the clock and close things out.
“A resilient, tough football team,” is how head coach Sean McDermott described them to the press. “When you’re down like we were at halftime, I thought the staff did a great job making adjustments and the players executed.”
When asked about Allen’s comeback after the game, longtime AFC opponent and new Patriots head coach Mike Vrabel found himself at a loss for words.
“That’s why they pay him $60 million. I don’t know what to tell you.”
