5 winners (and 1 major red flag) from Patriots’ statement win over Bills

The New England Patriots sent their fans into a time capsule on Sunday night, reminding them just how fun a prime-time, heavyweight battle with Josh Allen and the Buffalo Bills used to feel during those good ol’ days.

The beautiful reality? This wasn’t a dream or some kind of moral victory. This was a turning point for a franchise that's been waffling near the bottom of the NFL standings for two-plus years.

New England’s 23-20 win delivered everything fans hoped for when Mike Vrabel was hired as the new head coach back in January.
