The Patriots edged the Buccaneers 28-23 in Tampa, sealed when Stefon Diggs secured a high-bouncing onside kick. Rookie TreVeyon Henderson ignited the offense with touchdown sprints of 55 and 69 yards, and Drake Maye delivered deep strikes, including a 72-yarder to Kyle Williams and a 57-yard heave to Mack Hollins. Tampa Bay rallied as Baker Mayfield found Emeka Egbuka early and Tez Johnson for two late scores, but an offensive pass interference call and a failed two-point try hurt. New England improved to 8-2; Tampa Bay fell to 6-3.
