The Patriots are in their bye week at the top of the AFC and on a seven-game winning streak, with rookie quarterback Mac Jones playing a key role.

In their win at Buffalo on Monday night, the Patriots attempted just three passes. The last time any team threw five or fewer was 1982.

New England threw just three passes in its 14-10 win over Buffalo, so ‘we can use our whole passing game,’ Bill Belichick says.

Buffalo’s final three drives entered the red zone, but the Bills came away with just three points in a 14-10 loss to New England.

New England throws the ball just three times and rushes 45 times for 229 yards.

Buffalo won the AFC East last season, but is again chasing New England, which has won six straight.

Buffalo has had a couple of bad performances against some good running backs, but is typically one of the better run defenses in the league.

New England quarterback Mac Jones has played so well that nitpicking his performance has become a form of flattery.

Whether it was this season’s surge or last year’s swoon, Coach Bill Belichick has ‘always enjoyed’ bringing a team together.

Patriots offensive coordinator Josh McDaniels saw plenty he liked in Sunday’s win over Tennessee, but also some missed opportunities.
