The New England Patriots know a home field advantage when they see it. After all, the six-time world champions play in one of the most feared venues in all of football — one that teams hardly want to visit come the regular season, let alone playoff time. Gillette Stadium is not the only arena in the AFC East, however, that has built a reputation over the years. Enter New Era Field in Orchard Park, just south of Buffalo.
The Patriots will visit the Buffalo Bills’ home turf on Sunday in a battle of unbeaten division rivals, and they will also have to go against one of the most raucous home crowds in the entire NFL.
