The Buffalo Bills have opened up a 17-6 lead over the New England Patriots in the final week of the NFL regular season this evening.
Sammy Watkins got the visitors into a strong position when he gathered a 43-yard pass from Kyle Orton, leaving the quarterback to fire the ball into the endzone for Robert Woods on the next play.
Tom Brady tried to get the Patriots back on level terms from their first drive, but was unable to find Brandon LaFell, leaving Stephen Gostkowski to kick the field goal.
Anthony Dixon increased the Bills advantage further when he powered over from a yard out before the end of the first quarter.
The Patriots, who are resting several starters ahead of the playoffs this week, continued to struggle for yards, settling for another field goal, before Dan Carpenter added three more points for the visitors before the break.
