There are many parallels to examine between the New England Patriots and the Buffalo Bills as the two teams get ready for their clash on Sunday afternoon in Orchard Park.
Both are 3-0 and undefeated on the season so far. Both have punishing defenses that rank top ten in the NFL in terms of yards and points allowed. And both play in the AFC East, a division that only one team can win in order to guarantee a playoff berth.
Of course, New England has enjoyed much more postseason success – and just success in general – than Buffalo ever since the arrival of Tom Brady and Bill Belichick in 2000.
