When to watch the New England Patriots and Buffalo Bills
- Sunday, Oct. 5, at 8:20 p.m. ET (5:20 p.m. PT).
Where to watch
- The Patriots-Bills game will be broadcast nationally on NBC and stream on Peacock.
The Bills are threatening to run away with the AFC East. They are undefeated through four games, and Josh Allen looks unstoppable. If Allen keeps it up, he’ll become just the sixth player in league history to win back-to-back MVP awards.
The Patriots currently sit in second place in the division but are two games behind the Bills at 2-2. It would be the biggest win of second-year QB Drake Maye’s career if he could lead the Pats to a road win in Buffalo tonight.
The Patriots-Bills Sunday Night Football game starts tonight at 8:20 p.m. ET (5:20 p.m. PT). The game is available to watch nationally on NBC or stream on Peacock.
Josh Allen and the Buffalo Bills host the New England Patriots for Sunday Night Football on NBC and Peacock.
