Just when it seems the lights might be flickering on this two-decade Patriots run, just when it seems like the party might be ending and the greatest dynasty in NFL history is fading to blue, they go out and do something like that. And the music starts up again, and everything seems possible once more.
I’m sure there’s a better-case scenario than what transpired in the Patriots’ thrilling 24-17 victory over the Buffalo Bills Saturday afternoon. I’m just not sure what that would be, beyond Matt LaCosse ripping off his helmet to reveal he’s Rob Gronkowski or something impossible like that.
