The top two teams in the AFC East meet on "Sunday Night Football" tonight as the Patriots visit upstate New York for a clash with the first-place Bills.
Buffalo (4-0) is rolling, already looking like a safe bet to win its sixth straight AFC East championship — though the Bills have their sights set on much larger aspirations.
Josh Allen notched three total touchdowns in Sunday's 12-point win over the Saints while blossoming running back James Cook ran for 117 yards. That marked Cook's third consecutive game with at least 100 rushing yards.
New England (2-2) is coming off a 29-point demolition of the Panthers, keyed by a three-touchdown effort from second-year quarterback Drake Maye.
While the Patriots long dominated this rivalry — winning 35 of 40 head-to-head meetings over a 20-season span from 2000 to 2019 — that has flipped. Lately, it's the Bills with the upper hand, winning eight of the last 11 contests.
