It’s like old times again for the New England Patriots , who are being pursued by everyone else in the AFC East.
It’s a position the franchise knows all too well, having a nearly two-decade reign — 17 division titles in 19 years — before Josh Allen and the Buffalo Bills won five in a row. A playoff run all the way to the Super Bowl last season behind second-year quarterback Drake Maye has raised expectations for the Patriots and provided the Bills, New York Jets and Miami Dolphins a clear target.
