- This Sunday, the New England Patriots can clinch the AFC East with a win over the Buffalo Bills at Gillette Stadium, Foxboro, entering 11-2 on a 10-game winning streak.

- To win, the Patriots must create turnovers and disrupt Buffalo's rushing game; potential mid-December snow might favor the Bills' ground attack led by James Cook.
