Before the New England Patriots enter a big Week 4 matchup against the Buffalo Bills, here are three Patriots players that must shine to get the win.
While already having established themselves as one of the best teams in the NFL through three weeks of the 2019 regular season, the New England Patriots will get their biggest test of the year so far in Week 4.
Coming into the week riding a three-game winning streak to kick off the year, the Patriots will hit the road to take on the Buffalo Bills in a showdown between two AFC East opponents who have yet to lose a game in the 2019 campaign.
After taking down the New York Jets 30-14 during Week 3 of the regular season a week ago, New England heads into Sunday’s contest at New Era Field in Buffalo with a perfect record of 3-0 to sit tied atop the AFC East standings.
Through three weeks of play, the Patriots have been absolutely dominant while outscoring opponents 106-17 in those three games, not allowing a single touchdown to an opposing offense yet this season.
Buffalo heads into the contest against the Super Bowl favorite Patriots also holding an undefeated record of 3-0 on the year to sit tied atop the AFC East standings alongside New England, having taken down the Cincinnati Bengals 21-17 during Week 3 action last Sunday.
The Bills, who have wins against the Jets, New York Giants and Bengals this year, and the Patriots both are in front of the struggling Miami Dolphins (0-3) and Jets (0-3) in the AFC East division coming into Week 4.
The winner between the two squads on Sunday at New Era Field will not only remain unbeaten on the year, but grab sole possession of first place in the division.
