In a pivotal Week 13 matchup, the New England Patriots topped the Buffalo Bills 28-13, solidifying their position in the playoff race. With both teams vying for crucial postseason positioning, the Patriots' victory showcased their dominance on both sides of the ball. Drake Maye led the charge for New England, throwing for two touchdowns while efficiently managing the game. Meanwhile, TreVeyon Henderson added a solid ground game with 81 rushing yards, and Dalton Kincaid was a bright spot for Buffalo, racking up 120 receiving yards despite the loss. Josh Allen had a notable performance with 322 passing yards, but it ultimately wasn't enough to spark a comeback. Defensively, the Patriots were relentless, highlighted by Harold Landry III's three sacks, which disrupted Buffalo's offensive rhythm throughout the game. Craig Woodson's six tackles and Marcus Jones' interception further exemplified New England's defensive prowess. The turning point came when Landry's pressure led to a turnover, allowing the Patriots to extend their lead and control the tempo for the remainder of the contest.
