Patriots released a serious message for the rest of the NFL: we really returned.

Their victory at 23-20 against bills, most likely, is the main turning point for the organization after several miserable years.
So far this season, the patriots looked like an improved team compared to last year, but they beat only dolphins and panther. Having broken bills in Buffalo, in the middle of the Sunday evening match in high time, they received a real sign of the signature.
First of all, it attracts attention, so this is the appearance of a quarter -dyer Drake May. In the second year, May really seems to be in the process of establishing itself as the expected four franchise from the moment Tom Brady left.
May succeeded 22 of his 30 passes for 273 yards. He did not launch a pass and did not make a turn. There are so many for numbers, but its performance was much more significant than these several statistical data that they say little.
May was phenomenal to avoid the pressure used by bills. In the second half, he was almost perfect with 13 successful passages in 14 attempts, 184 yards. In the fourth quarter, far from suffering from the size of the moment, he succeeded in his six passes 90 yards.
Mercy, Diggs!
His favorite recipient, the stefon of Diggs, seemed literally obsessed, who encountered his former team. He smoked with 10 doses at 146 yards.
The patriots, last season, saw packs of hope for May, who found out about a heap in his recruited season without a real high -quality weapon next to him. The arrival of Diggs is changing the situation. He became the first patriotic winger since in 2019 Julian Edelman knew two games of continuing 100 or more yards.
Efforts are completed
All this is not to mention protective efforts. Return to the game on half of the corner Christian Gonzalez, who missed the first three games, gives the team another young member of a very promising foundation.
This season, the defense was also held by the Balui James Cook, which was limited by 49 yards in 15 races.
Obviously, the victory does not guarantee that the patriots will be held in January. However, this victory means that the funny patriots of recent years are left behind.
The 1972 dolphins took only five weeks to enjoy champagne. Probably, the bottles were not even cold!
There is no invincible team
Accounts are no longer invincible, like the eagles who lost earlier on the same day against Bronkos. Therefore, another year, it is guaranteed that the dolphins of 1972 remain the only team that took the season without defeat.
The accounts were not in their best best results against the teams are clearly lower than they. Sooner or later, play casually, they will fall into their gross mistakes.
All good things have an end, and they lost the battle for changes in 26 games. It should have happened once. In their last 14 games, including qualifiers, they did not make two or more turns in the match. Hats from patriots for being able to create these cases.
Therefore, this is a complete team of efforts that promoted patriots. First of all, nothing will assure their supporters more than a very encouraging May.
Last season, even if May showed encouraging signs, the air attack ended in the last rank in the league. In 2023, it was in the 28th row. This year they remain at the eighth step.
May still demonstrated, despite the failures of the team that he was a quality athlete. Much more important, faced with bills, he demonstrated what would be a quality leader for them.
