What Bills fans can expect at Highmark Stadium for Bills vs. Patriots | Week 5
‘Fans are encouraged to wear white from head to toe, while White Rally Towels presented by Wegmans will be handed out upon entry to help fuel the noise and intensity. Wegmans will also have Limited Edition Rivalries game apparel available in-store for purchase (Buffalo, Rochester, Southern Tier and Syracuse locations only).’
Why Khalil Shakir is beloved by Bills fans for more than his impact on the field
‘Shakir’s tackle-breaking seems to defy physics. Even the slippery 6-foot, 190-pound wide receiver couldn’t explain how he scored against the Saints after he was facing his own end zone. Few in the NFL can make run-after-the-catch plays like him. Outside of One Bills Drive, Shakir is viewed as one of the league’s most underrated players at his position. But teammates and coaches have called him the best in the world since he became a fixture in their offense.’
Three years and $850M later, did taxpayers get a good deal on the new Bills stadium?
‘Funding from the state and Erie County made up 61% of the cost of what was then a new $1.4 billion stadium in Orchard Park. In the 3½ years since, however, more than half a dozen other NFL communities have reached, or are negotiating, new stadium deals of their own. Some will require public investments of over $1 billion, while other teams say they’ll fully finance the stadium construction.’
From Denver to D.C., other NFL markets eyeing big-dollar stadium projects

Erik Brady: Hijinks at Highmark: Where else would he rather be for his bachelor party?
‘Just to be clear, there will be beer at the bachelor party. The gang plans on dinner at Duff’s on Saturday night and tailgating at Highmark on Sunday afternoon. Eli wants to give his pals the full Bills Mafia experience, short of table jumping.’
Josh Allen and Drake Maye have more in common than you think
‘“During the Super Bowl we spent some time together,” Allen said. “Just getting to know him and his fiancée at the time, we both were engaged at the same time, got married shortly thereafter. A really down to earth human being, got a really good head on his shoulders, does things the right way – he plays the game the right way, in my opinion, and now he’s only getting better, so he’s a fun one to watch.”’
Defensive concerns linger in latest Bills injury update
‘Williams, who has been starting in Matt Milano’s place, suffered a knee injury late in last week’s victory over New Orleans and did not practice all week. Strong incurred a neck injury which is believed to have happened in practice Wednesday because he was added to the injury report as a did not participate on Thursday.’
These 5 Bills wins over the Patriots stand out as some of the best in stadium history
‘They were just beat up repeatedly, and rarely in the NFL has there been such a complete domination by one team over another for that length of time, so whenever the Bills found a way to beat Tom Brady and Bill Belichick, it was cause for celebration in western New York.’
Bills welcome in Patriots for critical Sunday night clash
‘A win Sunday would pull the Patriots within 0.5 games of the Bills in the division standings, by virtue of temporarily holding the head-to-head tiebreaker. If the Bills were to win, they’d open up a three-game edge after just five games, and maintain their position atop the overall standings in the AFC.’
James Cook named AFC Offensive Player of the Month
‘Cook dominated the opening month of the season, tallying 490 yards from scrimmage and five touchdowns across four games in Sept.’
Bills can put AFC East in a headlock by keeping rising star Drake Maye in check
‘Buffalo Bills-New England Patriots role reversals is still a bit strange, even after five years.’
Stefon Diggs praises Buffalo ahead of first game back since being traded by the Bills
‘But Diggs is making his return to Highmark Stadium for the first time since being traded following the 2023 season. And it’s likely to be a big deal for Bills fans once he runs onto the field, with emotions flying in different directions.’
