The AFC East’s fiercest rivalry reignites on Sunday Night Football as Mike Vrabel’s resurgent Patriots challenge Josh Allen’s Bills in a tactical duel. Rookie QB Drake Maye’s poised pocket presence faces Buffalo’s suffocating blitz schemes, while Allen’s dual-threat explosiveness tests New England’s new-look defense (featuring free-agent stars Harold Landry and Carlton Davis). History whispers tension: Buffalo’s 47-17 playoff rout of New England in 2021 remains fresh, but Vrabel’s ground-and-pound philosophy—led by Ezekiel Elliott’s clock-control runs—aims to silence the Orchard Park roar. Expect a chess match where red-zone execution and turnover battles decide supremacy.
