Patriots Can Extend Win Streak to 11, Capture AFC East Title with Win over Bills

On Dec. 1, the New England Patriots clinched the AFC East and playoff spot with a win over the New York Giants at Gillette Stadium, ending Buffalo's five consecutive division titles.
After four years outside the playoffs, the Patriots had been quietly rebuilding and last won the AFC East in 2019, ending their drought since the Tom Brady and Bill Belichick era.
Patriots quarterback Drake Maye said `They have won the division for five years-- so we've got something we need to go take`, entering with a 71.5 completion percentage and 111.9 passer rating.
The victory moves New England toward a 12-win season, which would be the franchise's 14th such campaign, and the Patriots could clinch a playoff berth via several tie and loss combinations.
A Bills road win would have taken Buffalo Bills to 10-4 and nearly secured a playoff spot, while Patriots hold 80 wins, including 41-24 at home and 18-5 at Gillette Stadium.
