In a dominant display, the Buffalo Bills topped the New England Patriots 27-3 in Week 3 of the 2027 season. This matchup was critical for both teams as they looked to establish themselves early in the campaign, but it was Buffalo that made a definitive statement with a decisive victory.
Leading the charge for the Bills was quarterback Dante Moore, who threw for 260 yards and three touchdowns, showcasing his precision and playmaking ability. Wide receiver Khalil Shakir was a standout target, racking up an impressive 183 receiving yards, while James Cook III added a solid ground game with 73 rushing yards, contributing to the offensive onslaught.
