Ty Simpson led the Patriots' offense, passing for 209 yards, while Bryce Young of the Bills managed just one touchdown despite showing flashes of brilliance. Jahmyr Gibbs was a standout for Buffalo, rushing for 99 yards and keeping the pressure on New England's defense, but it was the Patriots' balanced attack that ultimately secured the win.
