Patriots (3-2) @ Bills (3-2) - Week 6 - FOX - TSH/98.5 - 1PM
 

Sunday will mark the 109th meeting between the New England Patriots and the Buffalo Bills. The two teams began playing a home-and-home series in 1960 as AFL rivals, with the Patriots now holding a 66-41-1 advantage all-time and a dominant 25-3 record in the Bill Belichick Era (2000-present). The Patriots’ last loss at Buffalo came Sept. 25, 2011, when Tom Brady’s four interceptions ‒ one returned for a touchdown by Drayton Florence ‒ fueled a 17-point fourth quarter 34-31comeback victory for the Bills. Buffalo’s other two victories against Belichick were a 16-13 overtime loss on Nov. 5, 2000, and the famous “they hate their coach” game on Sept. 7, 2003, a 31-0 thrashing by the Bills. Last season the Patriots barely escaped Ralph Wilson Stadium with a 23-21 win, needing a field goal from Stephen Gostkowski with five seconds remaining to steal a narrow victory.
