The New England Patriots make the cold trek to Orchard Park on Sunday for an AFC East rematch with the Buffalo Bills.
So much has changed since the October 22 meeting between the two teams. Mac Jones was still the starting quarterback, and the Patriots hadn’t yet created the perception as one of the worst teams in the league. There was still a faint hope that the team would hit some sort of stride and turn things around.
That doesn’t mean all hope is dead for the now 4-11 Patriots team with Bailey Zappe starting under center.
