FOXBOROUGH, Mass. -- If the New England Patriots beat the Buffalo Bills on Sunday, they will improve to 4-0 and welcome back quarterback Tom Brady from his NFL suspension the following day. If that's the way it unfolds, the first quarter of their season would have to be considered a smashing success.
Yet, defeating the Bills will be no easy task.
Buffalo head coach Rex Ryan has, at times, drawn up some of the most challenging defensive game-plans the Patriots have seen in recent years, and either Jimmy Garoppolo and/or Jacoby Brissett can expect to see some unique wrinkles on Sunday.
