Two teams will enter Gillette Stadium on Saturday afternoon with one shared goal in mind.
If the New England Patriots take care of business at home and beat the Buffalo Bills, they’ll clinch the AFC East and ensure themselves of hosting at least one playoff game in Foxborough this January.
If the Bills beat the Patriots, Buffalo and New England would have the same 11-4 record on the season. The two rivals would have split their head-to-head matchups as well, and the division crown would come down to whether or not the Bills beat the Jets and the Pats beat the Dolphins in Week 17.
