Patriots' AFC East dominance starts with Bill Belichick, Tom Brady

FOXBOROUGH, Mass. -- Offensive coordinator Josh McDaniels said playing a division game on the road -- which the New England Patriots will do in Week 8 against the Buffalo Bills on ESPN’s Monday Night Football -- is one of the hardest things to do in football.

For the better part of the past two decades, the Patriots have made it look easy.

They have won nine AFC East titles in a row -- a record for the most consecutive division championships -- and 15 of the past 17. They’ve also dominated the Bills.
