New England Patriots head coach Jerod Mayo emphasized that the team's focus is solely on defeating the Buffalo Bills in their upcoming season finale, despite being in a strong position for the No. 1 pick in the 2025 NFL Draft. Mayo indicated that the potential draft implications would not influence their game plan, and he mentioned considerations for rookie quarterback Drake Maye's playing time to avoid injury. The Bills, having secured a playoff position, may also rest key players, which could impact the game.

• Patriots are focused on winning against the Bills rather than securing the No. 1 draft pick.
• Drake Maye's playing time may be limited to prevent injury.
• Bills may rest starters in preparation for the playoffs.
