Bills at Patriots

Franchise Hub Beat · 21d ago

In an impressive display of offensive firepower, the Buffalo Bills topped the New England Patriots 49-28 in Week 13 of the 2026 season. With playoff implications on the line, Buffalo's victory solidified their position in the postseason race while delivering a significant blow to New England's hopes.

Drake Maye put on a show for the Patriots, throwing for 324 yards and four touchdowns, but it was James Cook III who shone brightest for Buffalo, racking up 145 receiving yards. Despite a modest ground game led by Josh Allen, who only tallied 26 rushing yards, the Bills' aerial attack proved too much for the Patriots to handle, as they consistently found ways to exploit New England's secondary.

Defensively, the Bills made key plays that swung the momentum in their favor. Christian Benford's crucial interception highlighted a strong defensive effort, while the Patriots' Milton Williams managed to record a sack, but it wasn't enough to stifle the relentless offensive output from Buffalo. The turning point came early in the second half when the Bills scored back-to-back touchdowns, pulling away and forcing New England to play catch-up for the remainder of the game.
