The Patriots' rematch against the Bills might not have been flexed into primetime as many fans hoped, but that doesn't mean the stakes are any lower or that either team doesn't have something to prove.
New England wants to lock up the division as soon as possible, a feat they haven't accomplished since Tom Brady was under center, and Buffalo will, of course, want to make sure that doesn't happen on their watch. That inevitably gives them more time to catch up and secure a playoff spot, and maybe even steal the division in the process.
But that's not going to be easy, especially when looking at how their first matchup in Week 5 went down for the Bills' defense.
