The Buffalo Bills face the New England Patriots today at Highmark Stadium, looking to establish a three-game lead in the AFC East. A victory would not only enhance the Bills' standings but could significantly impact the Patriots’ morale, which is shaky following a poor start to the season. Quarterback Drake Maye has struggled, with one touchdown and six interceptions in three games, amid reported tensions with head coach Mike Vrabel. The Patriots, currently without key defensive players, are aiming to regroup after a loss to the Jaguars last week.
