To be the man, you've got to beat the man. That's what we heard over and over again heading into Sunday night's matchup between the New England Patriots and Buffalo Bills. Blowing out bad teams like the Carolina Panthers - like the Patriots did in Week 4 - is nice, but the Panthers are not the Bills. Drake Maye and company had to have their A-game to beat Joash Allen and the Bills.
Mission accomplished, as the Patriots walked out of Highmark Stadium for the final time - unless these teams meet in the playoffs - with a 23-20 win in which Maye led a game-winning drive for the first time in his career.
