The Patriots are battling their division rival Buffalo Bills, in an attempt to clinch the AFC East title and secure their ticket to the postseason for the first time since 2021. The 11-2 Patriots, hosting the 9-4 Bills at Gillette Stadium, are on a 10-game win streak and haven’t lost a game since September. The Bills are also trying to avoid being swept by a division opponent for the first time since 2019. That was Tom Brady’s last season in New England, when the Bills lost both games to the Patriots.
