The Buffalo Bills put together another memorable comeback in Week 15, this time overcoming a 21-0 deficit to defeat the New England Patriots and pull within a game of the AFC East lead.

Josh Allen was marvelous, throwing three touchdown passes and leading the Bills on five consecutive touchdown drives to come back to win. Not only was this another comeback win for the Bills in 2025, which has been a theme of their season, but it was the first comeback of its kind in history.

"Buffalo’s 21-point comeback win is the largest by a visiting team in the history of Gillette Stadium," Dianna Russini posted on X.

The Bills have made a habit of ensuring fans never count them out. They trailed 40-25 late in the fourth quarter in Week 1 against the Baltimore Ravens before winning 41-40. And just one week ago, they trailed the Cincinnati Bengals 28-18 in the fourth quarter. 

Buffalo will head to Cleveland in Week 16 to face the Browns before ending their season with a two-game home stand against the Philadelphia Eagles and New York Jets. Should the Bills win out and get some help from either the Baltimore Ravens, Jets, or Miami Dolphins, they will win their sixth consecutive AFC East cchampionship.
