The Patriots beat the Bills 35-7. Bill Belichick and the New England Patriots dominated the Buffalo Bills from 2000 to 2019, it was difficult to dub it a rivalry. The tables finally seem to be turning in the AFC East, with Buffalo having won three of four and consecutive division titles, in preparing to host New England in a wild-card playoff on Saturday night.

FILE - In this Dec. 3, 2017, file photo, Buffalo Bills strong safety Micah Hyde (23) hits New England Patriots wide receiver Danny Amendola (80) during the second half of an NFL football game in Orchard Park, N.Y.

Hyde said he and Buffalo's 10 returning defensive starters were so far ahead during the offseason re-introductory phase last spring the sessions felt a little too repetitive.
