Plays on Monday Night Football vs. Buffalo Bills

Week 13 is going to be huge for the New England Patriots. They started out 2-4 but have since reeled off six wins in a row and are now a half-game ahead of the Buffalo Bills. Now, they head into Orchard Park where they will take on the Bills in the first of two meetings between them.

New England, who is 5-0 on the road this season, has dominated the AFC East for years and after watching Buffalo win the division in 2020, they’re hoping to gain control once again. Rookie quarterback Mac Jones has been better than most expected and has a chance to prove himself in a prime-time game that has a lot on the line.

. Previous: 3rd. Kansas City Chiefs. 3. team. 124.

Early in the season, the Kansas City Chiefs were struggling to find wins. They were needing to play perfect football in order to get a victory but that’s no longer the case.

They proved this again on Sunday Night Football when they shook off some bad drops — including one that ended up in the hands of Patrick Surtain — to knock off the Denver Broncos. It was a statement win for Kansas City who improved to 8-4 and is now in control of the AFC West.

They have been to the Super Bowl in each of the past two seasons and with their current play, they look ready to make a run at a third trip in a row.
