Mike Vrabel's defense forces another Bills turnover en route to points

Robert Spillane gets physical with Keon Coleman, prying the ball from the wideout's hands while Buffalo is deep in its own territory. That gives the Bills two lost fumbles in the first 13 minutes of action, and it also gives the Patriots offensive life inside the red zone. Buffalo proceeds to clamp down with its own defense, but New England still finishes with points thanks to a 30-yard field goal from Andy Borregales. Credit to Mike Vrabel's "D" for getting after the ball on the road in this one; great focus and fundamentals on the takedowns thus far.

Josh Allen loses the ball ... but then Rhamondre Stevenson does, too

First it looks like the Patriots are gaining steam, recovering a rare loose ball from a botched Josh Allen snap in which the Bills quarterback appears to miscommunicate on a potential reverse handoff:

But then New England gives it right back, with Rhamondre Stevenson coughing up the rock after taking a hit on a screen pass over the middle. Credit Shaq Thompson, the former longtime Panthers linebacker, with the force-out:

Bills swarm Patriots to spoil opening series after Diggs catch

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. Already we can see this matchup will be a test for the Patriots' offensive front.

Stefon Diggs issues love to Buffalo in pre-game interview

Nothing but positive words from Diggs in a pre-game conversation with NBC Sports. The Patriots wideout says he still has a "lot of love" for Buffalo and its fans, then compares his current quarterback, Drake Maye, to his former signal-caller in Josh Allen, saying the two share a similar "moxie" in their play and work ethic. His parting words: "Ya'll have fun tonight. Turn your TV on!"

Patriots will have two key defenders in action

Both DT Milton Williams (ankle) and CB Carlton Davis III (illness) were listed as questionable for New England. They're both good to go for the Patriots, per the announced inactives lists. That's good news for Mike Vrabel's unit, which will look to get after Josh Allen early. New England enters Sunday night's game giving up 20.3 points per game, which is good enough for a No. 11 rank in the NFL.
