* * * *
-- The Patriots are 67-19 (.779) in regular-season AFC East games since the beginning of the 2001 season, the best intra-division record of any NFL team. Indianapolis is second at 63-23 (.733).
-- Tom Brady is 23-3 all-time against Buffalo. His 23 are tied for the second-most wins by a quarterback against an opponent. Brett Favre had 23 wins against Chicago and 26 wins against Detroit.
-- The 2015 season is Brady’s 16th season with the Patriots, matching Steve Grogan (1975-90) for the most seasons with the team.
-- The Bills have not allowed an opponent to score more than 17 points over their last six home games -- the longest active such streak in the NFL. The Patriots were the last team to score more than 17 points in Buffalo (a 37-22 victory in Week 6 last season).

WHAT TO LOOK FOR
-- Brady has 396 career touchdown passes and needs four more to become the fourth NFL player to ever reach 400 career TD passes. The others are Peyton Manning (530), Brett Favre (508) and Dan Marino (420).
