AI RECAPIn a high-octane showdown in Week 4 of the 2026 season, the New England Patriots outlasted the Buffalo Bills with a final score of 50-36, solidifying their dominance in the division. The win was crucial for the Patriots as they look to establish themselves as serious contenders this season.
Quarterback Drake Maye delivered a stellar performance, throwing for 390 yards and an impressive six touchdowns, showcasing his ability to command the offense. Meanwhile, Jordan Addison led the Bills in receiving, racking up 117 yards, but it wasn’t enough to keep pace with Maye's explosive play.

Defensively, the Patriots made key plays that shifted momentum in their favor. Craig Woodson anchored the defense with five total tackles, while Robert Spillane's interception proved pivotal in halting a potential scoring drive from the Bills. The turning point came late in the second quarter when Spillane picked off a pass, allowing the Patriots to extend their lead, ultimately sealing the victory.
