Highmark Stadium in Orchard Park will be the stage Sunday when the unbeaten Bills (4-0) square off against the Patriots (2-2) in a pivotal Week 5 clash.
Buffalo’s year could hardly have started smoother. Four straight wins are already in the bag, and the scary part is the Bills haven’t even hit full stride. As the AFC’s lone undefeated team, they’ve built themselves a two-game cushion atop the division and now have a golden chance to tighten their grip even further with another victory.
Across the field, though, stands a New England team that doesn’t look much like the cellar-dwellers of the past two seasons, and has started 2-2 in the 2025 season.
With an upgraded roster, a steadying presence at quarterback in Drake Maye, their sharpest play since Tom Brady skipped town in 2019, and the fiery leadership of Mike Vrabel, the Patriots are carrying swagger and bite.
