Week 10 is in the books and it will be a week for Bills fans to forget about. The Buffalo Bills were the only team to lose this past week and they will look to get back into the win column in Week 11. The Patriots are slowly starting to run away with the division with a 1.5 game lead on the Bills that includes the tiebreaker.

The AFC East has two top teams record wise, but one is on a roll while the other is entering the pretender tier. Then there is the bottom two that while they did win this week, they have a long way to go for the rest of the season.

Week 11 AFC East schedule

New York Jets (2-7) @ New England Patriots (8-2) (TNF)

8:15PM EST - Prime Video

Week 11 will kick off with an AFC East battle between the New York Jets and New England Patriots. Both teams are coming off wins from this past week and it would not be surprising to see this game be closer than we think.

This will be the first meeting between the Jets and Patriots of the year and while New England, on paper should have no problems, the Jets could give them a run for their money.

Washington Commanders (3-7) @ Miami Dolphins (3-7) (Spain)

9:30AM EST - NFL Network+

The very first game in Spain within the NFL features two teams who have been disappointments this season. It will be the Commanders taking on the Dolphins. Miami is coming off their Super Bowl with a win over the Bills but they are 3-7 for a reason. As for Washington, they have been decimated with injuries and that’s why they are having a rough season.

It would not be a surprise to see this being a low-scoring game if neither offense can get going early on. Expect a defensive battle in this matchup.

Tampa Bay Buccaneers (6-3) @ Buffalo Bills (6-3)

1PM EST - CBS

After losing to one Florida team, the Bills are coming back to Buffalo to host another team from Florida. Buffalo will host Tampa Bay for a 1PM electric showdown with both teams coming into this matchup at 6-3.

It’s a battle between two of the top quarterbacks from the 2018 draft, Josh Allen and Baker Mayfield. The Cleveland Browns drafted Mayfield No. 1 overall while the Bills drafted Allen at No. 7. Mayfield showed lots of promise in Cleveland, but injuries and some inconsistency ruined his tenure and he found himself in both Carolina and Los Angeles, before landing in Tampa where he has become a bit of a star. 

As for Allen, we all know that story. He has become an MVP, set multiple Bills and NFL records, and has been the leader for the Bills since he arrived in the building. This should be a great matchup between two quarterbacks from the same draft class.
