"New England wants to lock up the division as soon as possible, a feat they haven't accomplished since Tom Brady was under center, and Buffalo will, of course, want to make sure that doesn't happen on their watch. That inevitably gives them more time to catch up and secure a playoff spot, and maybe even steal the division in the process."
"Stefon Diggs has a big chance to really put the dagger in his former team with a Patriots win on Sunday Despite the magnitude of this upcoming matchup and the fact that Diggs hasn't been able to put up the same kind of performance in the weeks since his impressive return against the Bills, Smith believes he's still going to make a massive impact for the Patriots' offense."
The Patriots and Bills meet in a consequential AFC East rematch with playoff and division implications. New England aims to clinch the division as soon as possible, a feat not achieved since Tom Brady's tenure. Buffalo seeks to prevent that outcome, buy time to chase a playoff spot, and potentially overtake the division. The Bills' defense struggled in the Week 5 meeting, where Stefon Diggs produced his best game with the Patriots during his return to Buffalo. Diggs and the Patriots hope to replicate that production despite underdog labeling, which could ease the path for Drake Maye and New England to sweep Buffalo.
