NFL Week 5: Buffalo Bills’ Undefeated Run Ends vs. Patriots After Costly Mistakes 2025

The Bills’ undefeated season came to a crashing halt, as costly turnovers, and a struggling secondary, defined a frustrating 23-20 loss to the Patriots

.

It wasn’t pretty.

Drake Maye and Stefon Diggs had their way with the Buffalo Bills‘ secondary, particularly with Tre’Davious White.

Maye completed 22 of 30 passes for 273 yards. He didn’t have any touchdowns, but repeatedly beat the Bills’ rush with his scrambling. Diggs recorded 10 receptions for 146 yards.

The Bills’ offense was far from its normal, efficient self, committing multiple penalties and turnovers, as the Patriots ended the Bills’ undefeated season, 23-20. These types of games happen from time to time, but it doesn’t make it feel any better. There wasn’t much positive to come from this game, but the team will have to put it behind them. But first, let’s discuss a few quick observations.

Sloppy on Sunday night

The Bills’ ability to avoid turnovers and win the turnover battle has been the talk for the last few weeks, but all streaks come to an end.

The Bills committed three turnovers, which cost them the game. The first of which occurred at midfield, ending a potential scoring drive, the second gave the Patriots the ball at the Bills’ 11-yard line. The third ended another potential score with an interception in the red zone.
