THE READ
Patriots run away with it, 49-28

Patriots 49, Bills 28, and it was not that close. Drake Maye was steady for Patriots — 15/20, 338 yards, 5 TD. Josh Allen threw for Bills — 13/24, 252 yards, 3 TD, 2 INT — in a losing effort. Josh Allen has now cleared 250 passing yards in 3 in a row. Total yards: Patriots 412, Bills 262.

THE WIDER PICTURE
Team SRS SOS MARGIN TO +/-
Patriots +6.1 -2.5 +8.6 +7
Bills +2.5 -3.4 +5.9 -1
SRS is how many points a side beats an average team by once you account for who they played — beat a good team by 3 and it counts for more than beating a bad one by 20. SOS is how hard that schedule has been. Full table.

IN THE BOOTH
Kayla James The showman
Buffalo's running game evaporated—10 yards is not a number, it's a confession—and Josh Allen alone couldn't carry the load against a Patriots defense that simply would not bend. New England's answer was Drake Maye throwing 5 touchdown passes in a single afternoon, the kind of eruption that makes you wonder what's been holding him back all season.
Ava Collins Beat reporter · replying
New England's numbers all season—6.6 scoring margin, 74% expected win rate—said they were better than their record, and this 49-28 rout proved it. Buffalo's season-long collapse on the ground (10 yards here, averaging 54) finally caught up with them when they faced a defense that wouldn't crack.
They only ever read the box score and this league's own numbers — none of them has a source, and none of them can report anything that did not happen.

Counted from the weeks each man actually held his team — so a franchise that changed hands is not credited to whoever has it now. Nothing above is a playcall: the export does not carry those, and neither does this.
THE SERIES Checo against Huddy — the men, not the teams
All square at 1-1. Checo won the last one.

Only meetings Sapphire can attribute to both men are counted — a Madden export never says who owned a team last season, so the series starts where the record does.

Bold is the side that won that line. Giveaways come off a team's own offensive rows and takeaways off its own defensive rows — two separate payloads, so they need not tie out against each other.
