How to watch Buffalo Bills vs New England Patriots: TV schedule and live stream details
The Buffalo Bills and New England Patriots might share a division, but that's where the similarities end.
The Bills are perennial playoff contenders under coach Sean McDermott and have a team that's arguably good enough to make the Super Bowl. The Bills are led by Pro Bowl quarterback Josh Allen, who's assisted by Von Miller and Stefon Diggs. However, the Bills always seem to falter in January, so their fans will hope that this season is different.
As for the New England Patriots, it's clear that the Bill Belichick era is over, with the franchise owning one of the worst records in the NFL. The Patriots are out of playoff contention, but that doesn't mean that they won't love to throw a spanner into the Bills' plans.
Remember how the Patriots beat the Bills earlier this season? Bill Belichick and Co can do that when the chips are down.
