Stefon Diggs has one of the NFL's highest catch rates.

He's PFF's second-best WR against man, and he's been killing zone.

Best of all, his connection with Drake Maye has raised the #Patriots ceiling. Column: www.bostonherald.com/2025/10/09/c...

Vrabel on the #Patriots run game, ranked 25th by DVOA: "It's gotta be better. It has to be better at the line of scrimmage, at the second level, and then continue to try and finish and break some of these."

Mike Vrabel on the Saints: “They’re creating turnovers, and that was the difference in the game last week.”

#Patriots interim DC Zak Kuhr keeps getting better. Great plan.

NE matched Bills' heavy personnel with base and played 3-4/5-down fronts to gap out their outside zone. They had a Cover 1-heavy coverage plan with a contain rush on Allen, few blitzes and different zone changeups with C1 disguise.

Callahan: It’s time to believe in the Patriots again, thanks to Drake Maye

For the first time in years, it’s safe to believe in the Patriots again. And it’s all thanks to their new franchise QB.

How good can Drake Maye be?

"Honestly, I think it's up to him."

The #Patriots best offensive grouping last night was 11 personnel, which had a 50% success rate and 8 plays of 10+ yards.

They have one player to thank for that: Stefon Diggs.

He was responsible for 7 of those 10+ yard plays and 8/10 successful plays. Football magic, indeed.

The Drake Maye-Stefon Diggs connection tonight has been football magic.

The #Patriots called this game a gauge. A measuring stick. A test of who they are.

Well, tonight says they're a burgeoning threat to the 5-time division champion. They played Buffalo straight up, and won. What a statement.

The #Patriots, as 8.5-point road underdogs, are on the verge of upsetting the best team in football.

The concentration from Maye and Boutte required to make that completion possible was on another level.

The #Patriots are gassed on defense.

Tons of 4-man rushes and man-coverage snaps in a "we're good enough to play you straight up" game plan.

And they've been right.

#Patriots nearly drop Allen on a rare corner blitz. Pats have hardly blitzed Allen all night.

Drake Maye doesn't complete that pass in the 1st half. Extended, stayed calm, found a receiver. Well done.
