In what was supposed to be Buffalo’s year, the Patriots are still a nuisance that won’t go away

COMMENTARY

How do you think all this is playing in Buffalo?

When the Bills won the AFC East for the first time in 25 years last season, it was supposed to signal the beginning of a new era. After a rotating list of characters failed to take the role over two decades, Josh Allen emerged as the team’s bona-fide, MVP-caliber quarterback. Head coach Sean McDermott helped build one of the league’s most fearsome defenses. The franchise even signaled the belief it had in the team’s viability by trading for Stefon Diggs, one of the game’s most talented wide receivers.
