‘Yes, there have been close games in Orchard Park. The Patriots won a 23-21 decision there last Sept. 8; lost a 34-31 game there on Sept. 25, 2011, after getting out to a big early lead; and they emerged with a 17-10 triumph on Dec. 20, 2009. But there have also been plenty of big New England wins (52-28 in 2012, 38-7 in 2010).’
