The AFC East has a late-season showdown on its hands in Foxboro, Massachusetts on Saturday, as the Buffalo Bills (10-4) head to Gillette Stadium with a rare opportunity to tie Bill Belichick and Tom Brady for the division lead as they take on the New England Patriots (11-3).
New England recovered from two consecutive losses with a 34-13 win over the Cincinnati Bengals in Week 15. The Bills, meanwhile, have won four of their last five games — the sole exception being a 24-17 loss to the AFC's best Baltimore Ravens in Week 14.
Just how important is this game, though? A Buffalo win would give both the Bills and Patriots even records across the board, meaning the NFL could have to look far down the tiebreaker procedures list to determine who wins the division should the teams finish the season with the same record.

The importance of the Week 16 matchup is also fueled by the fact that the Pats haven't finished outside of first in the AFC East since 2008, while Buffalo hasn't won the division since 1995.
