First place is on the line in the AFC East on Sunday as one unsurprising 3-0 squad in the New England Patriots meets another much more surprising one in the Buffalo Bills.

Patriots vs Bills Preview
After blowing out the Steelers in Week 1, the Patriots have faced the hapless Jets and Dolphins in back to back weeks, winning back a combined score of 73-14. More impressively, the Patriots have not allowed an offensive touchdown against them through the first three games and are ranked No. 1 in every major defensive category.
“We’re pushing ourselves,” Pats safety Duron Harmon said. “The good thing about this defense is — obviously we’re going to get coached — but we know what we want to do. We know how we want to play. We know what we want the tape to look like.
“And we’re pushing each other to do it rather than the coaches pushing us week by week.”
“We don’t care what anybody writes or says about us,” safety Devin McCourty added. “I bet if we pull up some clippings from last year, you guys were probably saying some of the worst things about our defense.”
Patriots QB Tom Brady, 42, has looked better than ever this season. He was 28 of 42 for 306 yards against the Jets and headed to the sideline with 8:41 left in the fourth quarter. For the year, he has 911 yards, 7 touchdowns and no interceptions.
However, the Bills have presented problems in the past for Brady in the past four matchups, with the future Hall of Famer accounting for three touchdowns and four interceptions.
“It’s a great style of defense because they really make the offense earn everything,” Brady said of the Bills under Sean McDermott. “They challenge you. They force you to make good plays, good decisions, good reads on a consistent basis.”
That being said, Brady is 30-3 all-time against Buffalo — an NFL record among QBs for most wins against a single opponent. And what helps the Patriots cause this time around is that the Bills don’t have a ton of tape to work with, considering that New England hasn’t had to dig very deep in their playbook with three convincing wins.
“The game is over, pretty much all three of them, by halftime and so they’re a machine,” McDermott said of the Patriots outscoring opponents by a combined 106-17.
The Patriots are a modest 6.5-point road favorite, with the total for the game set at 42.5.
