N.F.L. Roundup: Patriots Improve to 10-0 as They Hold Off the Bills

James White scored the first two touchdowns of his career, one running and one receiving, and the New England Patriots improved their record to 10-0 with a 20-13 home victory over the Buffalo Bills on Monday night.

Tom Brady completed 20 of 39 passes for 277 yards, and the Patriots, the defending Super Bowl champions, remained on course for their second perfect regular season in nine years. The Bills (5-5), who had won two straight, lost to Brady for the 25th time in 28 games.

The game was filled with mistakes, penalties, injuries and turnovers, including two fumbles on a single punt and an inadvertent whistle that led to one of many lengthy conferences among the officials.
