After the New England Patriots' narrow 24-21 defeat to the Buffalo Bills, coach Jerod Mayo expressed pride in his team's performance, despite their poor record. He emphasized the importance of consistency and learning from losses, while rookie quarterback Drake Maye voiced his support for Mayo and the team's effort to improve.

The Patriots showed offensive signs of life, scoring 14 points in the first half, a marked improvement. However, defensive struggles, particularly against the run, were evident as they allowed a significant touchdown run from Bills' running back James Cook.
