Pats Pulpit
The New England Patriots are back from their bye and welcoming the Buffalo Bills to a snowy Gillette Stadium in Week 15.
As Mike Vrabel stated this week, it’s a championship week for his Patriots: a win would clinch the team its first AFC East title since 2019. It will be no easy task, however, as reigning MVP Josh Allen, James Cook and one of the league’s best run games stands on the other side.

The Bills won the toss and deferred, putting Drake Maye and the Patriots offense on the field first. The first play from scrimmage saw a handoff to Rhamondre Stevenson and the back break free up the middle for 15 yards. Then facing a 3rd-and-7, Maye perfectly placed a fade to Kayshon Boutte down the right sideline for 30 yards to quickly have New England in Buffalo territory. Quickly getting on the ball to avoid a challenge, New England moved the chains again on the ground to set up a goal-to-go situation. One play later, Drake Maye kept a zone read and found the end zone from eight yards out. [Patriots 7 : 0 Bills]
