About New England Patriots at Buffalo Bills

An AFC East rivalry renewed, with the sort of history that adds an edge to a standard divisional fixture. Sunday's early afternoon kickoff means tailgating starts hours before, with grills and generators filling the parking lots regardless of the weather. Autumn in this part of the country can turn wet and cold fast, and crowds dress for it rather than let it dictate the mood. Whatever the standings say heading in, games between these two draw a sharper crowd noise and a longer memory than most.

Where to stay nearby

Buffalo is the obvious base, closest to the stadium and with by far the widest choice of hotels for a game-day stay. Cheektowaga sits just as near and works well if Buffalo's options are full or pricier on game weekend. Niagara Falls is a further drive, roughly 43km, but has a large hotel supply and suits fans keen to combine the game with sightseeing, so long as they allow extra time on Sunday morning to get to Orchard Park.

About Buffalo Bills

The Bills joined the AFL as a charter member in 1960, reviving a name first used by an earlier Buffalo entry and honouring frontier showman Buffalo Bill Cody. Buffalo won back-to-back AFL titles in the mid-1960s, but the franchise is best known for reaching four consecutive Super Bowls from 1991 to 1994 and losing all four, an unmatched run of near-misses capped by a last-second missed field goal in the first.

Jim Kelly's high-powered no-huddle offense of that era remains the defining chapter in team history. More recently Josh Allen has led a new generation of playoff runs, and the loyal, cold-weather Bills Mafia fanbase has become part of the team's identity.

Buffalo Bills records & quirks

  • Tyler Bass kicked a franchise-record 61-yard field goal to beat Miami as time expired.
  • Bass also holds Bills records for most field goals in a game (six) and most points in a season (141).
  • In 2021 Buffalo scored a touchdown on every offensive drive in a 47-17 win over New England.

About Highmark Stadium

The new Highmark Stadium, opened in 2026, is the home of the Buffalo Bills, a striking open-air arena replacing the former ground in Orchard Park, south of Buffalo. The setting is suburban and community-driven, with Buffalo's reviving waterfront, Canalside and the restaurant scene of Elmwood Village a short drive away.

Parking and rideshare are the primary ways in. Booking a room in downtown Buffalo keeps the city's bars, waterfront and transport close, with an easy drive out to the stadium on game day.
