For the third consecutive game, the Buffalo Bills are back in Orchard Park for a Week 4 matchup against the New England Patriots. With the Patriots' early season struggles and Drake Maye playing as arguably the worst quarterback in the league, the Bills have a great setup on paper. However, we know that it only matters with what happens on the field.
However, we can't ignore the fact that the Patriots having to actually play good teams and they have performed in an underwhelming fashion. Now they will take on another solid Bills team that is 3-0 heading into this game.
Division games are always tough, even if the team at the top is playing the team at the bottom. They know each other very well, meaning that the strengths and weaknesses are no mystery. The Bills can't play like they did in Week 3 and hope for a miracle. They need to come out strong and not let up one single bit.
As fans are getting ready for this matchup, we have game information to be aware of per the Buffalo Bills' PR team.

Bills vs. Patriots mini-history
We don’t need to re-live the painful memories of this rivalry when Tom Brady was under center for the Patriots. He went 33-3 against the Bills in his career. One of his victories against the Bills came when he was in Tampa Bay, and the rest being in New England. There was a time from 2003-2010 where the Bills lost 15 consecutive games to the Patriots, per Pro Football Reference.
Since the start of the decade, the Bills are 9-4 against the Patriots (which includes their 47-17 playoff win in 2022). Due to the Patriots completely dominating the Bills over nearly two decades, any win against the Patriots feels great due to the pain that Bills Mafia went through in the Brady era.
Last season, the Patriots walked into Orchard Park in Week 5 when the Bills were 4-0, and New England was in control of the game from nearly start to finish and ended Buffalo's undefeated streak. Drake Maye and Stefon Diggs were nearly unstoppable as they connected for 146 yards off of 12 targets.
That was the start of the downfall for the Bills last season as they lost the AFC East to the Patriots, who eventually made a run at the Super Bowl.
Entering today's game, the Patriots look rough and Drake Maye is playing terribly. That's what makes this game interesting for the Bills because New England will be looking to make a statement. Kickoff in Orchard Park is at 1PM EST as the Bills will look to remain undefeated and get their first AFC East win of the season.
