The New England Patriots are playing in their second AFC East matchup of the season against the Buffalo Bills, where they hope to remain unbeaten in the division.
The matchup against the Bills inside Highmark Stadium could be toughest of the year. Patriots quarterback Drake Maye recounts the last time he faced the Bills on the road.
“Yeah, I think it was a 4:25 game maybe, so it ended up turning into basically a night game there with how dark it gets up here in the north. So, shoot, I remember being – it was freezing cold, I remember that,” Maye said.
“Other than that, just the atmosphere. It’s in Buffalo. Their fans are very hostile, and I think that’s the energy that they want. The home environment speaks to what their record’s been at home. So yeah, hostile environment, it was cold last time we went there. I remember we were up in the locker room at halftime, and everybody was regrouping, trying to get back ready for the cold. I think it’ll be a little bit better weather this time, but playing on silent count is going to be huge, knowing that. They’re one of the best teams in the league, so we’ve got our hands full going up to their place.”
