Buffalo Bills: Keys to victory in Week 16 against New England Patriots

These are the keys to victory for the Buffalo Bills as they head to New England to face off against the Patriots in Week 16.

After clinching the AFC East with their victory last week, the Buffalo Bills look to solidify their dominance in the division in the last two weeks of the season. This week they play the Patriots and the next week they play the Miami Dolphins.

If the Bills can win these next two games, they will finish the season with a record of 13-3, undefeated within the division, and will solidify their position as the two seed in the AFC for the playoffs.

This would be a monumental accomplishment for the Bills as the two seed would guarantee that their first two playoff games will be played in Buffalo, should they win their first matchup in the playoffs.

As for the Patriots, they are coming off a loss to the Dolphins in an ugly fashion. They finished the game with 12 total points, proving yet again how incompetent the Patriots’ offense has been this season.

With this being said, the one thing the Patriots offense has done well this year is run the football. With Cam Newton at quarterback, the team’s rushing statistics are bound to be inflated by the number of times he scrambles on designed pass plays.

After playing the Patriots once already this year, the Buffalo Bills should have a better game plan defensively to slow down what the Patriots offense does best.
