The New England Patriots took on the Buffalo Bills on Monday Night Football in an inter-division battle. While the Bills have already sewn up the division, Pats quarterback Cam Newton delivered one of the best highlights of the contest so far in the second quarter.

As you can see, Newton uses his strength and speed to scurry into the end zone for a rushing TD after looking as if he was surely going to be sacked when he was surrounded by three defensive ends.
The Patriots had vaguely high hopes to start the season despite losing franchise talisman Tom Brady in free agency. They sputtered at times and came into the Bills game with a record of 6-8.
Still, if that highlight is any indication, the former Carolina Panthers MVP Newton still has plenty left in the tank for next season.
Unfortunately for coach Bill Belichick, Cam Newton and the rest of the Patriots, that touchdown proved to be their last score in the game as the Bills obliterated them right after. Buffalo went on to win the contest 38-9, leaving everyone in the team utterly frustrated.
The Pats have a chance to end the season on a high note when they play the struggling New York Jets in Week 17.
