The Patriots have alternated between wins and losses early this season to start off the Mike Vrabel era, but they are coming off their most impressive victory of the season. New England dominated the Panthers at home last time out in a 42-13 victory, improving to 2-2 on the season.

But next up are the Bills and Josh Allen in an AFC East divisional matchup in Buffalo. The Patriots also get the Sunday Night Football game as the national audience will see the Vrabel-led squad for the first time this season.

The Bills have remained perfect this season at 4-0, winning their last three games by double-digits. They did struggle some against the Saints last time out, but they’ve looked like a Super Bowl contender through the early portions of the season.
