The Buffalo Bills have wrapped up the AFC East earlier than any team has won their division in the NFL in the last 15 years, and they did so without playing one of their divisional opponents. This Sunday will mark the first time the Bills have played the New England Patriots this season, a very late time in the season for such an occasion. The Bills will play New England twice in the final three weeks of the season, and for New England, those games will basically be their postseason.
The three-win Patriots haven’t had much go their way this season, but thwarting Buffalo’s chance at the No. 1 seed would certainly be a nice feather in their cap.
Bills cornerback Rasul Douglas knows the Patriots will be hungry, which means the Bills have to be on top of their game.
“If you come in there and you play around, you’re going to lose,” Douglas said.
If the Bills win out and get some help from the Texans, Steelers, and Broncos, they’ll be the No. 1 seed in the AFC. But first and foremost, they have to take care of their business.
