The New England Patriots walked into Orchard Park and walked out with a one-point win, holding off the Buffalo Bills 25-24 in a Week 4 divisional slugfest. Neither side could pull away, and the outcome hung in the balance until the final possession. For New England, it's the kind of road result that reshapes the early AFC East picture. Drake Maye was the engine of the New England attack, carving up Buffalo for 324 yards through the air and two touchdown passes. A.J. Brown was his favorite target, hauling in a game-high 107 receiving yards and consistently winning on the outside when the Patriots needed a conversion. TreVeyon Henderson provided the balance with 87 rushing yards, keeping the Bills' front honest and letting New England control tempo in the second half. Defensively, Gabe Jacas was the difference-maker, living in the Buffalo backfield to the tune of 3.5 sacks. Every one of those pressures mattered in a game decided by a single point, stalling drives and pushing the Bills out of scoring range at critical moments. Buffalo's Maxwell Hairston led all tacklers with seven stops, but the Bills couldn't generate the same disruption up front. In the end, Jacas' relentless rush was the turning point that let New England survive by the slimmest of margins.
