Facing a banged up New England defense, the second-best unit at stopping the run, there’s no reason to think Buffalo can’t do it all over again Monday night.

However, Julian Edelman who led the team with 61 receptions was lost for the remainder of the season with a broken bone in his foot.
The 11 week of the National Football League season concludes tonight with an AFC East rivalry as the New England Patriots host the Buffalo Bills at 8:25PM ET on ESPN. Against the Jets’ No. 1 rush defense, the Bills ran for 148 yards last week. All are expected to play on Monday Night. Defensively, the Buffalo Bills yield 252.1 yards in passing and 97.4 yards in rushing.
The Bills have dropped just eight catchable passes in 2015 – tied for third fewest in the NFL. New England’s Jonathan Freeny picked up the ball and rumbled 5 yards before he lost the ball and it bounced out of bounds. No, they’re gonna win the division. It was his first missed kick of the season. LeGarrette Blount led the way for the Patriots with 56 yards on 16 carries. The major problem they will be facing, however, is that they will be without their most talented wide receiver in Julian Edelman. The Pats are 9-0 overall and 5-0 at home. Expect to see Danny Amendola and Brandon LeFell to struggle.
When the two teams first met, it was in week 2 and it was a highly-anticipated match between the two teams.
The Patriots survived a late comeback attempt by the Bills and are now 10-0 on the season.
Brady threw an out pass to White, who broke a tackle along the sideline to score from 20 yards out. To make things more hard, quarterback Tom Brady has been playing at an extremely high level all season.
The Bills were equally committed four days later before embarking on their bye week, generating 148 yards on 33 carries in a 22-17 win over the Jets. “How much have we improved?” He’s going to find a way to slow them down.
That stat is what started the downward spiral in Ryan’s Thursday phone interview with Patriots media ahead of Monday’s game between the two teams. As we have already seen, Brady is more than capable of shredding this Bills’ defense, which is something that they’re said to be embarrassed of. “Does that give us an opportunity to win the division?”
Sometimes you win going away. The fact that this game is being played at Gillette Stadium, where the Patriots have won 40 of their last 41 games against conference opponents, makes life tougher on the Bills.

Brady looked almost human, throwing a goal line interception and barely escaping another pick inside two minutes when Landon Collins dropped what probably would have been a game- clinching interception for the Giants.
