From 2000-2019 the New England Patriots went 35-5 versus the Buffalo Bills including 32-3 with Tom Brady under center.
Brady is now doing his thing in Tampa, having led the Buccaneers to a Super Bowl title in his first season at the helm in Tampa Bay.
For good measure, Brady added another win against Buffalo this season as the Bucs beat the Bills in overtime in a regular season matchup.
In total Brady has gone 33-3 versus Buffalo in his illustrious career.

When the @Patriots beat the Bills earlier this season, they only needed Mac Jones to throw the ball three times.

Buffalo returned the favor a few weeks later by winning at Foxborough and not punting the entire day.
After struggling in the team’s first matchup, Allen has owned the Pats.
He’s a combined 51-72 for 622 yards and eight touchdown passes. On Saturday Allen became the first QB in NFL history to complete 80 percent of his passes (21 of 25), while tossing at least five touchdowns and rushing for at least 50 yards in a single game, regular season or postseason.
He also became just the third QB to throw five touchdowns against a Belichick-coached team, joining future Hall of Famers Drew Brees (2009) and Russell Wilson (2020).
Josh Allen of the @BuffaloBills is the first QB in NFL history to complete at least 80% of his passes, throw for 5+ TDs and also rush for 50+ yards in a single game (regular season or postseason).

“It doesn’t matter what we did today, it’s what we do next week.”
"It doesn't matter what we did today it's what we do next week."
Josh Allen is already thinking ahead to the next game for the @BuffaloBills.

This Version Of The Bills Can Beat Anyone:
The Bills manhandled the Patriots 47-17 on Saturday and in the process didn’t allow a sack, had 0 punts, 0 turnovers and 0 field goal attempts, much to the delight of “Bills Mafia,” and the chagrin of the Patriots faithful.
It doesn’t get more dominant on offense.
0 Punts
0 Sacks Allowed
0 Turnovers
0 FG Attempts @BuffaloBills 😯 #BillsMafia— Scott Hanson (@ScottHanson) January 16, 2022
It’s the largest playoff loss in Patriots playoff history excluding their SB XX 46-10 loss to the Bears, and their worst playoff loss since a 33-14 setback to the Ravens in 2009.
The Patriots may never win another Super Bowl in my lifetime. As much as that sucks to admit I still wouldn’t trade the past 20 years for never winning again.

Buffalo’s win and Allen’s emphatic signature performance left no gray area and was a clean changing of the guard in the AFC East.
