It might seem like a forgone conclusion that the New England Patriots will win the AFC East for the 11th time in a row this season, but for once, they actually have a legitimate competitor who may keep things interesting down the stretch.
The Patriots (8-1) currently have a two-game lead over the Buffalo Bills (6-3) for first place in the division. New England won the head-to-head matchup in Week 4 in Orchard Park, New York – though that game was the narrowest win of the season for the Pats. Starting Bills quarterback Josh Allen was also knocked out for nearly the entire fourth quarter of that game after suffering a concussion.
