Patriots bitter rival caught sleeping (and it could decide the AFC East)
"It's time to cancel all the easy strength of schedule chatter. Mike Vrabel's squad didn't only win its seventh game in a row on Sunday - it went on the road and slayed a Tampa Bay Buccaneers team that entered with a 6-2 record, was coming off a bye week, and had only lost to NFC powerhouses Philadelphia and Detroit this season."
"About 250 miles southeast, the Bills were getting shellacked by the two-win Miami Dolphins as 8.5-point road favorites. Fresh off a marquee win over the Kansas City Chiefs, Buffalo completely fell asleep against a division opponent it had owned (winning 11 of 13 meetings since the 2020 season). The Bills didn't score a point until the fourth quarter, turned the ball over three times, and left Hard Rock Stadium with a stunningly one-sided, 30-13 defeat."
The New England Patriots extended their winning streak to seven games with a 28-23 road victory over the 6-2 Tampa Bay Buccaneers. The Patriots improved to 8-2 and face weaker opponents until a Week 15 home game against the Buffalo Bills. The Buffalo Bills suffered a surprising 30-13 defeat at the hands of the two-win Miami Dolphins, dropping to 6-3 and trailing New England by two wins. Buffalo turned the ball over three times and failed to score until the fourth quarter. The Bills already lost the first head-to-head meeting with New England in Week 5. Patriots roster depth remains a noted concern.
