‘“Oh, yeah, I played them 20 times in my career and I think I beat them twice,” said Kelsay, referring to Buffalo’s streak-ending 34-31 win over New England in 2011. “You were always optimistic about your game plan, your preparation, but during that timeframe, they obviously got our number more than we got theirs.”’

NFL wild card playoffs: Some top moments from the New England Patriots-Buffalo Bills rivalry

‘The 2003 season opener between these teams will forever be known as the “Lawyer Milloy Game.” Five days before this contest, the Patriots released the veteran safety for salary-cap reasons. Former Patriots QB Bledsoe also was on the Bills’ 2003 roster. After the emergence of Tom Brady, New England traded Bledsoe to Buffalo for a 2003 first-round pick in April 2002.’

Buffalo finished this regular season with nearly 13% more rushing yards than the NFL average despite entering the season dubbed as a team that would have problems running if it even attempted to run at all. And, of course, Allen’s scrambling and designed-run capabilities are a big part of Buffalo’s ground game.’
