Drake Maye threw three touchdown passes as the New England Patriots stunned the Buffalo Bills 29-26 in Orchard Park on Sunday.
Maye, 22 of 37 for 269 yards, found Efton Chism III for a leaping, one-handed 23-yard go-ahead touchdown with 1:50 remaining, then connected with Rhamondre Stevenson for the two-point conversion to give New England a 29-26 lead.
Buffalo drove into Patriots territory, but Craig Woodson intercepted Josh Allen at the New England 19-yard line with 1:14 to play, and the Patriots ran out the clock. The defeat is the Bills’ first in their new stadium.
Allen finished 23 of 33 for 253 yards and a touchdown, scoring from two yards out late in the first half to record his 88th touchdown from scrimmage — a Bills franchise record, breaking the mark he shared with Andre Reed and Thurman Thomas. Keon Coleman caught six passes for 116 yards and a score; James Cook rushed for 75 yards and a touchdown.
Doubs caught six passes and two touchdowns for the Patriots, who move to 2-2. Buffalo falls to 3-1.
