Week 5 · 2025–26 season
Patriots
W 23-20 at Bills · Oct 5, 2025
Misery Index · Euphoric
Patriots fans acting like the Brady era never ended after punching Buffalo in the mouth on primetime.
The emotional rollercoaster
Fan misery across the game window. Up is worse.
What happened
A.Borregales drills a 52-yarder with 20 seconds left to knock off the last undefeated team, and the takedown is built on chaos: M.Jones picking off J.Allen, J.Farmer and J.Hawkins each falling on Bills fumbles, and D.Maye finding K.Boutte for 19 on the game-sealing drive. First back-to-back wins in three years, on the road, in primetime — the fanbase is allowed one quiet evening before remembering this schedule isn't done.
