ORCHARD PARK, N.Y. — The Patriots are back in their comfort zone. As Willie Nelson famously crooned, they’re on the road again.
While some teams might frown at that mission, it’s hard to find another NFL team that’s actually played better away from home this year.
Given what’s at stake, with three straight road shows on the schedule, it’s going to be important to continue the trend.
Because after their division clash with the Bills this afternoon, the Patriots head south for another go-round with the Dolphins on “Monday Night Football” in Miami before concluding with their seismic showdown in Pittsburgh, likely with the AFC’s top seed weighing in the balance.
