Sunday Night Football will feature an AFC East showdown in Week 5, as Josh Allen and the Buffalo Bills welcome Drake Maye and the New England Patriots.
The Bills are one of two teams to start the 2025 NFL season with a 4-0 record, joining the defending Super Bowl champion Philadelphia Eagles. Allen, the reigning MVP, has led the charge for Buffalo, which picked up a stunning comeback win over the Baltimore Ravens in Week 1 before rattling off comfortable victories over the New York Jets, Miami Dolphins and New Orleans Saints.
The Patriots enter Sunday Night Football at 2-2 to begin the Mike Vrabel era in New England. The team has a pair of frustrating home defeats, but Maye played two of his best games in the pros during wins over the Dolphins and Carolina Panthers.
