The Buffalo Bills kept the winning ways going.
Not in a fashion most expected.
The Bills (12-3) took a 24-21 final over the New England Patriots (3-12) at home in Week 16.
Just looking at the scoreline, most expected this to be a much further apart set of numbers. Buffalo entered Sunday as a two-touchdown favorite but those circumstances quickly changed... that leaves a lot to be unpacked.
With that, here is Bills Wire's instant analysis of the Week 16 win:
