At the beginning of the season, Bills vs. Patriots might not have sounded like an exciting matchup. The Bills were coming off a 13-3 season to handily win the AFC East, while the Patriots finished third at 7-9.
Even with the new quarterback in New England, expectations weren’t overly high for Bill Belichick’s squad.
Fast-forward to Week 13, and this might be one of the games of the season. The Patriots have surged to win six straight games, pushing their record to 8-4 to place them in sole possession of first in the AFC East. The Bills could change that with a win at home against their division rivals.
