The New England Patriots had the chance to close the door on the division crown race on Sunday, but a late collapse allowed the Buffalo Bills to come back and win, keeping their chances of winning the AFC East alive.

The New England Patriots entered their Week 15 matchup against the Buffalo Bills in hot pursuit of their first division title since the 2019 season — as well as their 29th playoff appearance in franchise history. In the process, they would complete one of the most impressive single-season turnarounds in NFL history.

The New England Patriots and the Buffalo Bills are locked into a tight contest at Gillette Stadium in Foxboro, Massachusetts on Sunday. The Patriots raced out to a huge lead against the Patriots in the first half.

Josh Allen and the Buffalo Bills pulled off one of the most epic comebacks of the 2025 NFL season on Sunday afternoon at Gillette Stadium.

The Bills’ record is safe due to the fact that the Kansas City Chiefs' loss to the Los Angeles Chargers eliminated the Chiefs from postseason contention. Meaning, Kansas City’s run of three straight Super Bowl appearances has reached its conclusion, as has its streak of 10 consecutive trips to the playoffs.

There has been a lot of talk this season about Drake Maye, the New England Patriots’ second-year quarterback, entering the conversation for NFL MVP. Without question, the No. 3 overall pick in the 2024 draft has played great and he deserves to be mentioned as he leads the NFL in completion percentage.

The Buffalo Bills overcame a 21-0 deficit to keep their AFC East hopes alive as Josh Allen led them to a 35-31 victory over the Patriots.

Buffalo scored touchdowns on five consecutive drives to beat New England. Plus, the Eagles demolished the Raiders, whiile the Chiefs will miss the playoffs.

Ray Davis' kickoff returns were a huge help for the Bills as he put Allen and the offense in prime positions to charge down the field and take the lead. Davis had three returns that went for over 30 yards, even taking one a total of 58 yards. As expected, the Bills capitalized on this moment.

The Patriots can clinch a playoff spot with a win in any of their remaining games. That would get them to 12 wins and no team currently outside of the playoff picture can reach 12 victories. After missing a chance to clinch on Sunday, the Patriots are still the favorite to win the division, but the path is a little tougher.

The Buffalo Bills fought back from a 21-0 deficit to knock off the New England Patriots in Week 15. Here's who stood out as winners and losers in the victory.
