Drake Maye turned in his best game of the year as the Patriots traveled to Buffalo and defeated the Bills 29-26 in Week 4, per Associated Press reporting.
Maye threw three touchdown passes in the victory, including a spectacular one-handed catch by wide receiver Efton Chism III with 1:50 remaining that put New England ahead. The play capped what Yahoo Sports called one of seven defining moments in the Patriots' hard-fought win at Highmark Stadium. According to Yahoo Sports, Chism's catch may have been among the best the NFL has seen all season, despite the receiver's relative anonymity heading into the matchup.
The loss marked a winnable game for Buffalo in their first AFC East divisional matchup of the 2026 season, per Yahoo Sports reporting.
