Digest more
New England opens with a bootleg pass to Stefon Diggs (who else?), who promptly finds open grass for a first down. But then the Bills defense counters immediately, swallowing up Rhamondre Stevenson's first carry and then sacking Maye on third-and-long.

In a massive AFC East clash on "Sunday Night Football" in Week 5, the New England Patriots defeated the Buffalo Bills. Here's how it happened:
In his return to Buffalo, a motivated Stefon Diggs delivered the most prolific performance from a Patriots wideout in years.
The Buffalo Bills suffered their first loss of the season Sunday night, falling 23-20 to their division rival New England Patriots. The Bills had 11 penalties and three turnovers, which proved costly in the defeat.
