Antonio Gibson suffered a knee injury in the second quarter of Sunday’s game in Buffalo. The Patriots running back was returning a kickoff and took a heavy hit from Bills cornerback Cam Lewis right on his legs. Gibson also lost the football as he absorbed the blow, but the fumble was recovered by TreVeyon Henderson.
Drake Maye led the Patriots on a 37-yard drive to set up Andy Borregales’ 52-yard field goal with 15 seconds left, and New England beat the Buffalo Bills 23-20, leaving the NFL without an undefeated team five weeks into the season.

Rhamondre Stevenson’s much-discussed fumbling problems resurfaced again in a rough spot for the Patriots. Moments after New England had secured a takeaway after the Bills fumbled the snap, Drake Maye threw a pass to the veteran back for a 7-yard gain. But Shaq Thompson punched it out and Buffalo recovered at their own 38.
Cook has been a dynamic playmaker for the Buffalo Bills for several seasons now. He is coming off a game last week against the New Orleans Saints that saw him record 22 carries for 117 yards and a touchdown. He has 75 carries for 401 yards and five touchdowns on the season, with 12 receptions for 89 yards.
