AI RECAPIn a tightly contested matchup, the Buffalo Bills narrowly defeated the New England Patriots 17-14, reinforcing their stronghold in the division during Week 4 of the 2026 season. The Bills’ victory was crucial as they look to maintain their momentum and position in the playoff race.
Josh Allen showcased his skills, throwing for 219 yards and two touchdowns, leading the Bills' offense effectively. Keon Coleman was his favorite target, racking up 88 receiving yards, while Rhamondre Stevenson carried the load for New England, amassing 131 rushing yards in a valiant effort, though it wasn't enough to secure the win.
Defensively, the Bills made their presence felt, with TJ Parker recording an impressive 2.5 sacks to disrupt the Patriots' rhythm.
