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.

Buffalo's defense was equally formidable, with Cole Bishop leading the way with eight total tackles, stifling any potential offensive rhythm for the Patriots. The turning point came early in the second half when Moore connected with Shakir for a long touchdown, extending the Bills' lead to 20-3 and effectively sealing the game. With both sides of the ball clicking, Buffalo established themselves as a force to be reckoned with this season.
