Josh Allen faced criticism after a Week 4 loss to an unnamed opponent when he attempted to draw a penalty by flopping and made a costly turnover late in the game. Social media mocked his flop attempt, which referees did not penalize. In the final minute of the fourth quarter, down three points, Allen threw an interception that prevented a potential game-tying field goal opportunity from their own 40-yard line. Former Patriots running back Damian Harris highlighted Allen’s turnover issues, noting they have been detrimental in past playoff games and are resurfacing now. With four turnovers in his last two weeks (three interceptions and one fumble), Allen's tendency to turn the ball over remains a significant weakness for the Bills.

Story summary
On Sunday, Drake Maye led the New England Patriots to a 29-26 victory over the Buffalo Bills at Highmark Stadium in Orchard Park, NY. Despite turning the ball over twice early in the game, Maye threw three touchdown passes, including Efton Chism’s spectacular one-handed catch with 1:50 left that put the Patriots ahead for good. Meanwhile, Josh Allen's aggressive play backfired when his underthrown pass intended for Josh Palmer was intercepted by Craig Woodson on a potential game-winning drive. The Bills dropped to 3-1 after their first loss at Highmark Stadium, while the Patriots improved to 2-2.

Why this leaning score
This article does not take a side on a contested political
question, so it has no leaning score. That is an
answer rather than a gap: a match report or a rescue can be warmly
or critically written without being left or right, and scoring it
anyway is how approval of a subject gets recorded as a political
position.
